“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.This is the ninth installment in my Soul by the Dozen series which means there are at least 100 soul songs I really dig. Interestingly, with the exception of the Beastie Boys, I have very few rap/hip-hop songs in my music collection which could mean music is less about race and more about taste. I don’t have any death metal, either. From my soul to yours, here are some of my soul favorites. Enjoy!
