Soul music is one of the most enduring and emotionally resonant genres in American popular music, emerging in the late 1950s and early 1960s from the intersection of gospel's spiritual intensity, rhythm and blues's rhythmic drive, and the civil rights era's cultural urgency. Artists like Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye built a genre that has never stopped influencing everything that came after it — funk, hip-hop, R&B, and contemporary pop all owe direct debts to the soul tradition.
Soul radio stations today serve a devoted and multigenerational audience. Older listeners who grew up with the original era experience soul stations as a direct connection to their formative years; younger listeners discover the genre through its deep sampling history in hip-hop and its continuing influence on modern artists like Leon Bridges, H.E.R., and Anderson .Paak. The soul format encompasses classic 60s and 70s soul, the Philadelphia soul sound, the Southern soul tradition from Stax and Muscle Shoals, and the neo-soul movement that emerged in the 1990s.
