Southern Soul - where it all begun ... DOWNLOAD radio special now! UPDATE - Here the link to our Southern Soul radio special. Get it while it's hot!
http://wrir.org/x/modules...oryid=9725 ----- It's gonna get deep on this week's edition of our radio show Midnight Soulstice. Very deep. We are gonna go down South and bring back the real Soul music for y'all. Our show will be all about Southern Soul music of the 1960s. We won't go with the obvious tracks and play the big hits, but dig out some lesser known material that'll send chills down your spine. That's real Soul singing, not the stuff you hear on the airwaves today. And of course we'll play only original Soul 45s. Tune in this Friday, May 1st, from 11 pm – 1 am EST at www.wrir.org 
Some of the tracks you'll get to hear on the show: L. C. Cooke – Do you wanna dance The Soul Stirrers – Stand by me Syl Johnson – Is it because I'm black? James Carr – The dark end of the street Otis Redding – I've been lovin' you too long Little Richard – I don't know what you got Freddie Scott – You got what I need [Edited 5/1/09 19:46pm] [Edited 5/1/09 22:38pm] [Edited 5/7/09 4:36am] | |

Something about the South, we ALWAYS have that good soul.  I can't ever ignore a thread about southern soul, it's as much a part of me as Motown is (though I feel emotional whenever listening to southern, northern or "California" soul, lol). | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I take that then. 
But yeah I feel he put Mudbone into every old character he imitated even if it was someone else (like the wino). | |

The music just feels different ... much more intense. And to me, it's also deeply connected with Southern food culture. I don't know what it is, but at my house, there's no Southern Soul without Southern cooking.
You'll love that radio show on Friday. It's gonna feel like Memphis 1963. | |

The Temprees, from Memphis, TN
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Great selections, guys.
Funkenstein, I also love the Temprees, but they wouldn't exactly qualify as Southern Soul. They are from Memphis, and they released records on the Stax subsidiary We Produce, but their style is more Chicago Soul. By the early 1970s, much of the music that came out of Memphis had little to do with Southern Soul. The Wattstax concert and movie is a great example of that, and so is the Shaft soundtrack (the song Soulsville was not even a reference to Memphis but to Harlem). I'm not dissin' the Temprees (you know how much I love 70s Soul), but on tomorrow's show, we'll focus on the raw, uncut, gutbucket, deep Southern Soul from the 1960s. I just don't want you to be disappointed when you tune in. | |

Erma Franklin... Nope, no Southern Soul. 
Erma was born in Mississippi, but she relocated to Detroit, where she spent most of her life. Piece of my heart was released in 1967 on Shout, which was a subsidiary of Bang Records which was affiliated with Atlantic - a New York City based label. Since we want to keep it strictly Southern Soul on this thread, a track by a Detroit based singer released on a NYC label doesn't qualify.
When I dug out the records for tomorrow's show, I had a few Shout releases in my hand (including Erma), but then I did some research on it. I also had some more fantastic records that sound Southern, but were recorded and released in NYC. [Edited 4/30/09 7:50am] | |

Timmy84 said: LATIMORE - LET'S STRAIGHTEN IT OUT: I'm strugglin' with this one, too. Latimore was signed to Henry Stone's various labels in Miami, Fl. While Miami is the in southern United States, it's not the South, as you know as a Southerner. Henry Stone's productions (Latimore, Little Beaver, Timmy Thomas, Gwen McCrae, Clarence Reid) define a genre that deserves its own name - Miami Soul.
Gosh, I hate to spoil the party. | |

Just checking to see if you were paying attention.
I respect your demographic guidelines, however I might argue that the gospel feel that this music is based on followed many artists out of the south to wherever they ended up residing/recording.

Gosh, I hate to spoil the party. I think Henry also owned Alston which was dist by Atlantic as well. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 That's what I thought. I don't care where an artist resides at, some of them move down South and record southern soul, lol. Al Green was a Michigan native for years but he moved to Memphis and recorded southern soul. And Florida IS part of the south IMHO. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I understand that ... but doing a radio show focusing on Southern Soul, I know I will have callers complain that we don't respect our self-imposed theme by violating demographic guidelines. | |

If you do a show about Southern Soul music, you better have your criteria right or people will call and complain.
About Florida being part of The South - demographically, yes. Musically and culturally speaking - kinda different. I don't know too many people from Florida, but those that I know don't consider themselves as Southerners. Gwen McCrae is from Pensacola, which is minutes away from Mobile, Ala., but she would tell you "I'm not from the South, I'm from Pensacola." But maybe other people feel different. Hell, there are Virginians who say that VA isn't the South but Midatlantic. [Edited 4/30/09 11:22am] | |
