Listen to Soul!

978-1-4408-7525-0 (ISBN)
Listen to Soul! Exploring a Musical Genre provides both an overview and a critical analysis of what makes soul music in the United States. A list of 50 songs, albums, and musicians includes many of the best-known hits of the past and present as well as several important popular successes that are not necessarily on the "best-of" lists in other books.
Like the other books in this series, this volume includes a background chapter followed by a chapter that contains 50 critical essays on must-hear albums, songs, and singers, approximately 1,500 words each. Chapters on the impact of soul music on popular culture and the legacy of the genre further explain the impact of these seminal compositions and musicians.
This volume additionally includes a greater focus on soul music as a genre, making it a stand-out title on the topic for high school and college readers.
James E. Perone, PhD, is professor emeritus of music at the University of Mount Union.
