    Soul Music’s Enemies

       

    What is soul music?

     

    It came from artist/musician Ray Charles and he made it from gospel music combined with juke joint blues & dance lyrics.

     

    Today most people making mainstream music don’t have a clue as to how southern black Americans who go to juke joints, now called clubs or after hour’s spots, think or behave.

     

     

    Those that do understand the unique culture of southern club goers are the epitome of what soul music is all about.

     

     

     

    Many of the people from the south moved north in the United States, so the Northerners who still capture the essence of southern juke joint life understand real soul culture.


    Soul music is best captured by those from the culture.

     

     

    People not from the culture who love the music, and make their own music, often imitate the original style and sound in music that those from original soul culture make. When this is done the music is called soul/pop.

     

     

    But, it is blues/soul music that captures the culture of southern club goers and TRUE soul music. Remember; Soul music was made from gospel music combined with juke joint blues & dance lyrics by Ray Charles.

     

     

    People that are from alternative areas like big cities, small northern towns, and countries foreign to the US where their cultures do not truly reflect that of the southern blues/soul club going culture can be considered enemies of soul music, because they often, as a result of the music genres popularity, try to become part of the culture that is separate from their lifestyle.

     

     

     

    Soul is a culture, and the music known to represent the culture is from the southern region of the US.

    Any thing else ain’t soul, nor can it accurately represent the culture.
