Soul is a Ray Charles scream, filled with pain, beseeching all that hear to join in and testify… It’s the sound of Aretha, proclaiming that she, and she alone, is the gospel queen, ready to tear her heart out in order to prove her invincibility. Equally it may not even be voice-related – just James Brown stabbing out organ chords in a come-onand-get-that-church manner. One thing’s for sure – this superb 100 track compilation is filled with some of the finest examples of soul you’re ever likely to hear. Hits? Yes, there are plenty to be found here…
