* Music/ArethaFranklin: Well, yeah. The Queen of Soul. Like Ray, Sam Cooke and James Brown, she began her singing career in the late 1950s, mainly performing straightforward gospel-influenced [=R&B=], but when the sixties rolled around she developed the powerful, passionate style that she's famous for.

Added DiffLines:

* Rick Hall: The owner of FAME Recording Studios and the man who made Muscle Shoals one of the world's hitmaking capitals for a time. The son of sharecroppers who grew up in poverty in rural Alabama, Hall was more into country, but he also had a deep respect for R&B and gospel and provided a safe haven for black and white artists to work together in a then-segregated South, which helped break down racial barriers in music. Like Jim Stewart, he was also a white businessman who focused on a far grittier and edgier style of soul than Motown cared to touch, and both the Swampers (mentioned below) and the FAME Gang built their careers around a stripped-down, rhythm-centric style with none of the lush flourishes of Detroit.


Added DiffLines:

* The Swampers: Along with Booker T. and the MG's, the Swampers (the original house band of Rick Hall and FAME Studios before they split to open their own studio) codified the Southern soul sound and made Muscle Shoals one of the world's premiere hitmaking towns. Furthermore, as an all-white band who regularly played for black artists and had a raw, gritty, funky style with none of Motown's smoothness, they were instrumental in breaking racial barriers.

Not uprising, as the Internet took off, there has been some heavy cross-pollination between Beach Music and Britain's Northern Soul crowd.

Soul had a powerful effect on both RockAndRoll and modern {{Pop}}, and was the leading form of music for African-Americans until {{Funk}} music (itself heavily influenced by soul, and pioneered by leading R&B artists like James Brown and Isaac Hayes) came onto the scene in the early [[TheSeventies Seventies]]. Soul kept on; it eventually became nigh-indistinguishable from its forbear R&B (RhythmAndBlues) as, in the face of the rise of HipHop, the term started to be used for "any music made for and by black people that still has melodic singing." Purists cringed, of course, but alas, there was nothing to be done.
