or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.Soul music is a music genre that combines rhythm and blues and gospel music, originating in the United States.Origins 2 1970s and later 3 Soul subgenres 3.Deep soul and southern soul 3.Origins Soul music has some of its roots in gospel music and rhythm and blues.Many consider soul music to be a genre of music created by African Americans in northern United States inner cities, particularly Chicago.Other areas, such as Detroit and Memphis, Tennessee quickly followed and created their own regional soul music style, due to their gospel roots.Sam Cooke, Nina Simone, Jackie Wilson, and Etta James were early popular stars of the music genre, and other soul forerunners include: Mahalia Jackson, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, and Big Joe Turner.Some of the earliest soul artists included Ray Charles, Little Richard, and James Brown, although all were happy to call themselves rock and roll performers at the time.Little Richard proclaimed himself the &quot;king of rockin' and rollin', rhythm and blues soulin'&quot;, because his music embodied elements of all three, and because he inspired artists in all three genres.Solomon Burke's early recordings for Atlantic Records codified the soul style, and his early 1960s songs &quot;Cry to Me&quot;, &quot;Just Out of Reach&quot; and &quot;Down in the Valley&quot; are considered classics of the genre.Peter Guralnick writes, &quot;it was only with the coming together of Burke and Atlantic Records that you could see anything resembling a movement.&quot;In Memphis, Stax Records produced key soul recordings by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Don Covay (who also recorded in New York City for Atlantic Records).Joe Tex's 1965 &quot;The Love You Save&quot; is a classic soul recording.An important center of soul music recording was Florence, Alabama, where the Fame Studios operated.Jimmy Hughes, Percy Sledge and Arthur Alexander recorded at Fame, and Aretha Franklin recorded in the area later in the 1960s.Fame Studios, often referred to as Muscle Shoals (after a town neighboring Florence), enjoyed a close relationship with Stax, and many of the musicians and producers who worked in Memphis contributed to recordings done in Alabama.Another notable Memphis label was Goldwax Records, owned by Quinton Claunch.Carr's &quot;The Dark End of the Street&quot; (written by Chips Moman and Dan Penn) was recorded at two other important Memphis studios, Royal Recording and American Sound Studios, in 1967.Carr also made recordings at Fame Studios, utilizing musicians David Hood, Jimmy Johnson and Roger Hawkins.Do Right Man&quot;, are considered the apogee of the soul music genre, and were among its most commercially successful productions.During the late 1960s, Stax artists such as Eddie Floyd and Johnnie Taylor made significant contributions to soul music.Howard Tate's recordings in the late 1960s for Verve Records, and later for Atlantic (produced by Jerry Ragovoy) are another notable body of work in the soul genre.Music by Motown artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, and Marvin Gaye did much to popularise the style, and the overall Motown sound did much to define what later became known as northern soul.In Chicago, Curtis Mayfield created the sweet soul sound that later earned him a reputation as the Godfather of northern soul.As a member of The Impressions, Mayfield infused a call and response style of group singing that resembled the gospel style, and influenced many other groups of the era.Family Stone began to evolve both soul and rhythm and blues into other forms.Guralnick argues that, &quot;More than anything else, though, what seems to me to have brought the era of soul to a grinding, unsettling halt was the death of Martin Luther King in April of 1968.&quot;Later examples of soul music include recordings by The Staple Singers (such as I'll Take You There), and Al Green's 1970s recordings, done at Willie Mitchell's Royal Recording in Memphis.Mitchell's Hi Records continued the Stax tradition in that decade, releasing many hits by Green, Ann Peebles, Otis Clay, O.Bobby Womack, who recorded with Chips Moman in the late 1960s, continued to produce soul recordings in the 1970s and 1980s.The city of Detroit produced some important later soul recordings.Producer Don Davis worked with Stax artists such as Johnnie Taylor and The Dramatics.The Detroit Emeralds, such as Do Me Right, are an important link between soul and the later disco style.Motown Records artists such as Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson contributed to the evolution of soul music, although their recordings were considered more in a pop music vein than those of Redding, Franklin and Carr.By the early 1970s, soul music had been influenced by psychedelic rock and other genres.The Delfonics and Howard University's Unifics.During this period, groups like The O'Jays and The Spinners continued to turn out hits.After the death of disco in the early 1980s, soul music survived for a short time before going through yet another metamorphosis.Soul music from the United Kingdom has become popular worldwide, with artists such as Joss Stone and most recently Amy Winehouse.Omar, Soul To Soul, Loose Ends, Imagination, Mica Paris and Sade propagated the worldwide success of British soul.Notable British soul artists of the 2000's include Terri Walker, Beverley Knight, Corrine Bailey Rae, Julie Dexter and the Brand New Heavies.Detroit (Motown) soul For more details on these topics, see Motown

soul is a shimmering, sultry style of soul music produced in the 1960s and 1970s at Stax Records and Hi Records in Memphis, Tennessee.The Hi Records house band (Hi Rhythm Section) and producer Willie

India.Modern soul The phrase northern soul was coined by journalist Dave Godin and popularised in 1970 through his column in Blues and Soul magazine.The term refers to rare soul music that was played by DJs at nightclubs in northern England.The playlists originally consisted of obscure 1960s and early 1970s American soul recordings with an uptempo beat, such as those on Motown Records and more obscure labels such as Okeh Records.Modern soul developed when northern soul DJs began looking in record shops in the United States and United Kingdom for music that was more complex and contemporary.Fi and FM radio technology.D'Angelo is one of the most renowned male artists of the neo soul genre.For Dancers Only by Chris Hunt, Mojo.Bibliography Miller, Jim (editor) (1976).Chapter on

life.Various theories as to the nature of the soul have claimed to be reconcilable with the tenet of immortality, but it is a sure instinct that leads us to suspect every attack on the substantiality or spirituality of the soul as an assault on the belief in existence after death.The soul may be defined as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated.The term &quot;mind&quot; usually denotes this principle as the subject of our conscious states, while &quot;soul&quot; denotes the source of our vegetative activities as well.That our vital activities proceed from a principle capable of subsisting in itself, is the thesis of the substantiality of the soul: that this principle is not itself composite, extended, corporeal, or essentially and intrinsically dependent on the body, is the doctrine of spirituality.The belief in an animating principle in some sense distinct from the body is an almost inevitable inference from the observed facts of life.Even uncivilized peoples arrive at the concept of the soul almost without reflection, certainly without any severe mental effort.In the rude psychology of the primitive nations, the soul is often represented as actually migrating to and fro during dreams and trances, and after death haunting the neighbourhood of its body.The Samoans have a name for the soul which means &quot;that which comes and goes&quot;.Many peoples, such as the Dyaks and Sumatrans, bind various parts of the body with cords during sickness to prevent the escape of the soul.In short, all the evidence goes to show that Dualism, however uncritical and inconsistent, is the instinctive creed of &quot;primitive man&quot; (see ANIMISM).THE SOUL IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY Early literature bears the same stamp of Dualism.Veda&quot; and other liturgical books of India, we find frequent references to the coming and going of manas (mind or soul).Indian philosophy, whether Brahminic or Buddhistic, with its various systems of metempsychosis, accentuated the distinction of soul and body, making the bodily life a mere transitory episode in the existence of the soul.Christ, when we find it described as &quot;the unseen seer, the unheard hearer, the unthought thinker, the unknown knower, the Eternal in which space is woven and which is woven in it.&quot;Homer and the early Greek religion.In Homer, while the distinction of soul and body is recognized, the soul is hardly conceived as possessing a substantial existence of its own.Severed from the body, it is a mere shadow, incapable of energetic life.The philosophers did something to correct such views.The earliest school was that of the Hylozoists; these conceived the soul as a kind of cosmic force, and attributed animation to the whole of nature.Other philosophers again described the soul's nature in terms of substance.The fundamental thought is the same.The cosmic ether or fire is the subtlest of the elements, the nourishing flame which imparts heat, life, sense, and intelligence to all things in their several degrees and kinds.The Pythagoreans taught that the soul is a harmony, its essence consisting in those perfect mathematical ratios which are the law of the universe and the music of the heavenly spheres.Theology, physics, and mental science were not as yet distinguished.It is only with the rise of dialectic and the growing recognition of the problem of knowledge that a genuinely psychological theory became possible.Thus in the &quot;Timaeus&quot; (p.Pythagorean sources of the origin of the soul.It is composed of two elements, one an element of &quot;sameness&quot; (tauton), corresponding to the universal and intelligible order of truth, and the other an element of distinction or &quot;otherness&quot; (thateron), corresponding to the world of sensible and particular existences.The individual human soul is constructed on the same plan.Sometimes, as in the &quot;Phaedrus&quot;, Plato teaches the doctrine of plurality of souls (cf.The rational soul was located in the head, the passionate or spirited soul in the breast, the appetitive soul in the abdomen.In the &quot;Republic&quot;, instead of the triple soul, we find the doctrine of three elements within the complex unity of the single soul.There is also an argument from the soul's necessary participation in the idea of life, which, it is argued, makes the idea of its extinction impossible.Soul and body are distinct orders of reality, and bodily existence involves a kind of violence to the higher part of our composite nature.The body is the &quot;prison&quot;, the &quot;tomb&quot;, or even, as some later Platonists expressed it, the &quot;hell&quot; of the soul.In Aristotle this error is avoided.His definition of the soul as &quot;the first entelechy of a physical organized body potentially possessing life&quot; emphasizes the closeness of the union of soul and body.The difficulty in his theory is to determine what degree of distinctness or separateness from the matter of the body is to be conceded to the human soul.He fully recognizes the spiritual element in thought and describes the &quot;active intellect&quot; (nous poetikos) as &quot;separate and impassible&quot;, but the precise relation of this active intellect to the individual mind is a hopelessly obscure question in Aristotle's psychology.The Stoics taught that all existence is material, and described the soul as a breath pervading the body.Eight distinct parts of the soul were recognized by them: the ruling reason (to hegemonikon) the five senses; the procreative powers.Cleanthes and Chrysippus) admitted in the case of the wise man; others, such as Panaetius and Posidonius, denied even this, arguing that, as the soul began with the body, so it must end with it.Soul consists of the finest grained atoms in the universe, finer even than those of wind and heat which they resemble: hence the exquisite fluency of the soul's movements in thought and sensation.If this is destroyed, the atoms escape and life is dissolved; if it is injured, part of the soul is lost, but enough may be left to maintain life.The Lucretian version of Epicureanism distinguishes between animus and anima: the latter only is soul in the biological sense, the former is the higher, directing principle (to hegemonikon) in the Stoic terminology, whose seat is the heart, the centre of the cognitive and emotional life.Roman philosophy made no further progress in the doctrine of the soul in the age immediately preceding the Christian era.On the question of the soul he is by turns Platonic and Pythagorean, while he confesses that the Stoic and Epicurean systems have each an attraction for him.In Jewish circles a like uncertainty prevailed.Three terms are used for the soul: nephesh, nuah, and neshamah; the first was taken to refer to the animal and vegetative nature, the second to the ethical principle, the third to the purely spiritual intelligence.At all events, it is evident that the Old Testament throughout either asserts or implies the distinct reality of the soul.Platonic Dualism, attributing the origin of sin and evil to the union of spirit with matter.The tendency of Christ's teaching was to centre all interest in the spiritual side of man's nature; the salvation or loss of the soul is the great issue of existence.Body and soul are recognized as a dualism and their values contrasted: &quot;Fear ye not them that kill the body .Psyche is now appropriated to the purely natural life; pneuma to the life of supernatural religion, the principle of which is the Holy Spirit, dwelling and operating in the heart.The opposition of flesh and spirit is accentuated afresh (Romans 1:18, etc.According to this, man, perfect man (teleios) consists of three parts: body, soul, spirit (soma, psyche, pneuma).Body and soul come by natural generation; spirit is given to the regenerate Christian alone.Paul speaks, was conceived by some as a superadded entity, a kind of oversoul sublimating the &quot;natural man&quot; into a higher species.This doctrine was variously distorted in the different Gnostic systems.To each class they ascribed a different origin and destiny.Even in this life they are exempted from the possibility of a fall from their high calling; they therefore stand in no need of good works, and have nothing to fear from the contaminations of the world and the flesh.This class consists of course of the Gnostics themselves.The psychici are in a lower position: they have capacities for spiritual life which they must cultivate by good works.They stand in a middle place, and may either rise to the spiritual or sink to the hylic level.Lastly, the earthy souls are a mere material emanation, destined to perish: the matter of which they are composed being incapable of salvation (me gar einai ten hylen dektiken soterias).This class contains the multitudes of the merely natural man.Two features claim attention in this the earliest essay towards a complete anthropology within the Christian Church: an extreme spirituality is attributed to &quot;the perfect&quot;; immortality is conditional for the second class of souls, not an intrinsic attribute of all souls.It is probable that originally the terms pneumatici, psychici, and choici denoted at first elements which were observed to exist in all souls, and that it was only by an afterthought that they were employed, according to the respective predominance of these elements in different cases, to represent supposed real classes of men.The true genius of Christianity, expressed by the Fathers of the early centuries, rejected Gnosticism.The theory of Emanation too was seen to be a derogation from the dignity of the Divine nature For this reason, St.Justin, supposing that the doctrine of natural immortality logically implies eternal existence, rejects it, making this attribute (like Plato in the &quot;Timaeus&quot;) dependent on the free will of God; at the same time he plainly asserts the de facto immortality of every human soul.The doctrine of conservation, as the necessary complement of creation, was not yet elaborated.Similarly, Tatian denies the simplicity of the soul, claiming that absolute simplicity belongs to God alone.All other beings, he held, are composed of matter and spirit.Here again it would be rash to urge a charge of Materialism.Thus the soul may itself be incorporeal and yet require a body as a condition of its existence.At the same time, he teaches fairly explicitly the incorporeal nature of the soul.He also sometimes uses what seems to be the language of the Trichotomists, as when he says that in the Resurrection men shall have each their own body, soul, and spirit.But such an interpretation is impossible in view of his whole position in regard to the Gnostic controversy.The dubious language of these writers can only be understood in relation to the system they were opposing.By assigning a literal divinity to a certain small aristocracy of souls, Gnosticism set aside the doctrine of Creation and the whole Christian idea of God's relation to man.On the other side, by its extreme dualism of matter and spirit, and its denial to matter (i.Resurrection of the Body and even of the Incarnation itself in any proper sense.The orthodox teacher had to emphasize: the soul's distinction from God and subjection to Him; its affinities with matter.Indeed, similar errors have accompanied almost every subsequent form of heterodox Illuminism and Mysticism.The author aims to show the failure of all philosophies to elucidate the nature of the soul, and argues eloquently that Christ alone can teach mankind the truth on such subjects.Jerome says that in his day it was the common theory in the West.Theologians have long abandoned it, however, in favour of Creationism, as it seems to compromise the spirituality of the soul.&quot;Soul&quot; is properly degraded spirit: flesh is a condition of alienation and bondage (cf.Spirit, however, finite spirit, can exist only in a body, albeit of a glorious and ethereal nature.The primeval and eternal One begets by emanation nous (intelligence); and from nous in turn springs psyche (soul), which is the image of nous, but distinct from it.Soul has relations to both ends of the scale of reality, and its perfection lies in turning towards the Divine Unity from which it came.Platonist recognized the absolute primacy of the soul with respect to the body.Similarly Plotinus prefers to say that the body is in the soul rather than vice versa: and he seems to have been the first to conceive the peculiar manner of the soul's location as an undivided and universal presence pervading the organism (tota in toto et tota in singulis partibus).It is impossible to give more than a very brief notice of the psychology of St.Noverim Te, noverim me was an intellectual no less than a devotional aspiration with him.The following are perhaps the chief points for our present purpose: he opposes body and soul on the ground of the irreducible distinction of thought and extension (cf.Augustine, however, lays more stress on the volitional activities than did the French Idealists.Like Aristotle he makes the soul the final cause of the body.As God is the Good or Summum Bonum of the soul, so is the soul the good of the body.The origin of the soul is perhaps beyond our ken.He never definitely decided between Traducianism and Creationism.As regards spirituality, he is everywhere most explicit, but it is interesting as an indication of the futile subtleties current at the time to find him warning a friend against the controversy on the corporeality of the soul, seeing that the term &quot;corpus&quot; was used in so many different senses.This fusion produced sometimes, notably in Scotus Eriugena, a pantheistic theory of the soul.The Arabian commentators, Averroes and Avicenna, had interpreted Aristotle's psychology in a pantheistic sense.Thomas's doctrine is briefly as follows: the rational soul, which is one with the sensitive and vegetative principle, is the form of the body.This was defined as of faith by the Council of Vienne of 1311; the soul is a substance, but an incomplete substance, i.It is not wholly immersed in matter, its higher operations being intrinsically independent of the organism; the rational soul is produced by special creation at the moment when the organism is sufficiently developed to receive it.Many modern theologians have abandoned this last point of St.Thomas's teaching, and maintain that a fully rational soul is infused into the embryo at the first moment of its existence.THE SOUL IN MODERN THOUGHT Modern speculations respecting the soul have taken two main directions, Idealism and Materialism.Agnosticism need not be reckoned as a third and distinct answer to the problem, since, as a matter of fact, all actual agnosticisms have an easily recognized bias towards one or other of the two solutions aforesaid.History Descartes conceived the soul as essentially thinking (i.This is significantly marked by his theory of the soul's location in the body.Thus, to say the least, the soul's biological functions are made very remote and indirect, and were in fact later on reduced almost to a nullity: the lower life was violently severed from the higher, and regarded as a simple mechanism.In the Cartesian theory animals are mere automata.It is only by the Divine assistance that action between soul and body is possible.The Occasionalists went further, denying all interaction whatever, and making the correspondence of the two sets of facts a pure result of the action of God.The superior monad (soul) and the aggregate of inferior monads which go to make up the body are like two clocks constructed with perfect art so as always to agree.This awkward Dualism was entirely got rid of by Spinoza.Thought comprehends extension, and by that very fact shows that it is at root one with that which it comprehends.The alleged irreducible distinction is transcended: soul and body are neither of them substances, but each is a property of the one substance.This is the meaning of the definition, &quot;Soul is the Idea of Body&quot;.Soul is the counterpart within the sphere of the attribute of thought of that particular mode of the attribute of extension which we call the body.Mind is the only substance.The Sensist school (Condillac etc.Later Materialism has three main sources: Newtonian physics, which taught men to regard matter, not as inert and passive, but as instinct with force.The two orders of facts are therefore perfectly continuous, and, though they may be superficially different yet they must be after all radically one.Mental phenomena may be styled an epiphenomenon or byproduct of material force (Huxley).The answer is the same as before.There is no analogy for an epiphenomenon being separated by an &quot;impassable chasm&quot; from the causal series to which it belongs.Merely to find relations, however close, between mental and physiological facts does not advance us an inch towards transcending this Dualism.It only enriches and fills out our concept of it.The mutual compenetration of soul and body in their activities is just what Catholic philosophy (anticipating positive science) had taught for centuries.Man is two and one, a divisible but a vital unity.Evolutionism endeavours to explain the origin of the soul from merely material forces.If we ask then &quot;what was the original basis out of which spirit and all things arose?&quot;As regards monistic systems generally, it belongs rather to cosmology to discuss them.Such is the Catholic doctrine on the nature, unity, substantiality, spirituality, and origin of the soul.It recognizes the physical conditions of the soul's activity with the Materialist, and its spiritual aspect with the Idealist, while with the Monist it insists on the vital unity of human life.Transcribed by Tomas Hancil and Joseph P.New York: Robert Appleton Company.Since 1996, SOUL grew up within the Bay Area's vibrant youth organizing sector.Akua Jackson facilitates Organizing 101 (Spring 2005).Training for Trainers (Fall 2004).Participants in Training for Trainers (Fall 2004).
