"Soul music is a popular music genre that originated in the African American community throughout the United States in the 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of African-American gospel music, rhythm and blues and jazz." Per Wikipedia
Interesting question huh? Do you accept the Wikipedia answer? I'll tell you what I think and you tell me what you think.
I THINK:
I think the soul creates the music. It has to be that way. Most songwriters or musicians will probably say they composed a piece as the result of something going on inside of them – their minds, their emotions, their heart, their soul. I think the soul music released by the late Marvin Gaye (1939-1984) was music produced from his soul.
