Soul Chronology Live! (the Sixties) (4cd)
Featuring FOUR CD's, this set covers a large portion of soul music's golden age with 100 tracks by soul's greatest '60s superstars (from Aretha Franklin to Stevie Wonder) and a host of lesser known names whose contributions to the musical genre shouldn't be overlooked. The CD's cover all of soul's many styles, from early doo-wop and R&B influenced music to the funk grooves which became so popular in the '70s. Expect tracks from a.o. The Delfonics, Sly & The Family Stone, The Isley Brothers, Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions, Freddie King, Kim Weston, The Supremes, The Vibrations, Gene Chandler, Maxine Brown, Otis Redding, The Dells, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Ray Charles, Etta James, P.P. Arnold, Barbara Lewis, Jackie Wilson, Earl Gaines and so on, and so on. This box set is a companion piece to the 8CD set 'From Sacred To Secular: A Soul Awakening', which traced the history of soul music from its earliest antecedents in 1927 right up to the first true soul records released in 1962.
