Soul by the Dozen V

Whether you’re young or old, good soul music gets your blood flowing, your foot tapping, and your soul itching to dance. Soul ballads touch our souls in a different way and the great soul ballads can transport us and make us cry while sitting in traffic.

The Jackson 5

I first began exploring soul music in college when I purchased ‘70s oldies cassette compilations and really started digging soul, funk, and disco. By the time I graduated college, I was buying Prince albums and had taught myself to dance. Here are some more of my favorite soul songs. Enjoy!
