Southern Soul

Southern Soul is a genre of soul music that originated in the Southern United States. It is a blend of soul, R&B, and funk, with influences from gospel, blues, and jazz. It is characterized by its strong, soulful vocals, its heavy use of horns, and its funky, danceable rhythms. Southern Soul is often associated with the "deep soul" sound of the 1960s and 1970s, and is often seen as a precursor to modern R&B. It is often seen as a more traditional, roots-based form of soul music, and is often seen as a bridge between the classic soul of the 1960s and the modern R&B of today.
