holysoul

holy soul's top 100 soul songs

this tumblr is fantastic, and a regular source of inspiration and tunes. they've compiled a pretty good definitive list of soul songs, with a wide range of years & artists. i was toying with the idea of making a definitive soul mix, but that's hella presumptuous of me! i'm glad holy soul has this list out there instead. each title is a link to a youtube or tumblr post where you can listen to the songs...so get to it!

proof of the puddin' - color wheel (1966)



i was struck when i found this tune nestled among the usual 60s sunshine pop with beach boys vocals. it sounds like stephen sondheim had a garage-psych band!

but they're just a group of kids from indiana that got a chance to record one single in 1966. this is the flipside of it (side A is here and pretty fun)

r. stevie moore is a fan, and he's put up a little page for the band on his website. if you search for this band you'll also find a note of appreciation from the bandleader's wife, saying that she can't believe that people born after 1967 can listen to this and enjoy it. i love stuff like that. the idea of ordinary people getting together, working on a project, producing something beautiful and fleeting, then raising families while working on their talents on the side; there's nothing greater
