White soul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

White Soul refers to soul music performed by white people, mostly in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The term white soul emerged in the mid-1960s, and was associated with artists such as Dusty Springfield, Eric Burdon (of The Animals) and Van Morrison. Many heartland rock artists were heavily influenced by white soul, and some — such as Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen — were linked to the genre early in their careers. The term is distinct from the similar but more general term blue-eyed soul, in that the music was fairly raw, descended from the Stax Records style of rhythm and blues — and owing as much to rock and roll as to the pop music forms of rhythm and blues.
