Soul by the Dozen VI

I was in college when I really started digging deep into soul music- ‘70s funk especially- and many soul classics in my collection still sound fresh, cool, and funky. One great thing about classic soul music is its wide crossover appeal. Back in the ‘70s- before radio became segregated- Top 40 stations played the biggest hits from a variety of formats- pop, soul, rock, country, disco- back to back as long as the music sounded good and people liked it. Here are some more of my favorite soul songs. Enjoy!
