The Man makes Soul Music
I just watched the movie, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown”, the story of the Funk Brothers. As I watched, I began to understand why I dig Charles’ music so much. The Man makes soul music.
For me, soul music connects with your guts, your mind, your inner being. It’s the music that gets in you and feels good when you let it out. It’s hard to describe exactly what it is, but, for me, I know my soul music when I hear it.
I hear soul music in Gospel, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz, and, yes, Rock and Roll. The genre is irrelevant, as long as the music is genuine, from the heart, from your spirit, from the inner you.
For me, the first soul record I got into was “David [Bowie] Live”. Some of my other favorite soul record makers were Lynard Skynard, Bad Company, Johnny Lydon, Cure (B-Sides On the Beach), New Order, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Merl Haggard. All of these, and many more not mentioned and not known by me, are the “real deal”.
For me, every one of Frank’s Albums are soul records. They are the “real deal”.
