I've seen some zoomers who like rock from the 60s and 70s, but I've never seen anyone under 30 who likes old soul/R&B. (the only exception is MJ's "Off the Wall")Despite reevaluations by media like Rolling Stone,why is this genre so dead?
singles genre not album based
>>128295964>None of the albums in OPs picrel are good just singlesAnon, I'm a racist too but jfc >>128294444Checked but also every one of those albums gets slobbed off constantly. What are you talking about
>>128295994that's cool then
>>128294444I got heavily into soul when I was 20 but that's twenty years ago. People are fucking retards, 60s and 70s soul is incredible but normies rather listen to Usher (then) and Lil Crack Shanty
>>128298381Usher, R Kelly, Kelis etc don't get even close to the old legends from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
>>128294444who cares what the media or music sites people say?its not dead, just look up for things that you likefor me is napoleon murphyhttps://youtu.be/jNcjUUv3-4Y
>>128294444Am I the only one who thinks live soul is better. >Donny Hathaway - Live>Sam Cooke - At Harlem Square>James Brown - Live At the ApolloAre pretty much all their best albums.
>>128294444I’m a zoomer who loves soul and funk from the 60s and 70s
>>128294444didnt britbongs from the norf used to be obsessed with soul music, particularly if it was obscure?
I like soul but i know nothing about it desui dont know its history or have a taste for it, i know every now and then ill find a soul song on youtube and like ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDXheEiYqhcif someone is up for it they should make a chart of the best soul music and spread it around
>>128294444I owned a bunch of these albums in my teens but that was in the 90's. This music is 50 years old now what do you expect? In 1995 when I was listening to 70s funk 50 year old music was from 1945.
>>128305365There is still a small scene for that and the vinyl is worth a fortune. Some of the best shit. https://youtu.be/xwvpeYiQwss
>>128294444Most of the '60s rock music was white kids trying to sound like black Soul/R&B guys.https://youtu.be/RSIj_yhj7hg?si=GwjEmhkXDmkYbYQM&t=17
>>128303166Soul artists wanted to be like Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole, smooth urban entertainers, not some rowdy R&B singers.That's why Soul artists were trying hard to sound softer than what they really were on records, straight opposite to what rock musicians were doing. In live situations, artists couldn't be contained, and their natural energy could be felt.
>>128307064>Soul artists wanted to be like Frank SinatraMore like the companies wanted them to be like Frank Sinatra.
>>128294444>soul>r and b>classicFunny joke
