VA - Classic Soul Anthems (2010)
Genre: Soul, Funk, R&B | Label: Rhino | 3CD | MP3 224 kbps | ~391 MB

3 CDs of Soul Legends From the 60’s, 70's & 80’s...It’s no exaggeration to say that this album quite simply features the greatest and most influential soul artists of all time. They are so well known that simply a Christian name suffices to know who we are referring to : Diana, Marvin, Stevie, Aretha, Otis, Michael, Isaac, Gladys, Smokey, Chaka, Dionne etc. This predominantly ballad-heavy selection covers off the most influential period of classic soul starting in the early 1960s and then moving through the lush, string-laden 70s arrangements to the 1980s and the more polished production of advancing studio trickery.

One thing that remains constant however is the purity of the vocal performances. It’s hard to beat a classic soul ballad for delivering emotion in popular music and there are so many to choose from across this 3CD set. We have trawled through the mighty catalogues of Atlantic, Motown, Stax Records and more to unquestionably deliver an album of legends. Many will be familiar to you and hopefully, in and amongst the big hitters, there are also a few nuggets that may well strike a chord too (Betty Lavette, Lavern Baker and Shirley Brown all tick this latter box). Either way, it’s a win win selection and we salute them all. R.E.S.P.E.C.T!
