Soul by the Dozen II

This is the second entry in my soul series and what music collection would be complete without a little bit of soul? Soul music is all about keeping it real. It takes the good with the bad and whether it’s a sad song or a happy song one finds soul music is good for the soul. It cleans you out and gets you feelin’ alright because you’re human and we’ve all been there and, like the man says, “No matter how you look it- or think of it- it’s life, and you just got to play the game.” Here are some (more) of my soul favorites- timeless, relevant, and still speaking to what’s goin' on today. Enjoy!
