If Ray Charles employed “soul” as an avenue of approach to diverse material, James Brown revealed different tendencies from the beginning and like Ray Charles and James Brown, Aretha Franklin underwent a long period of “apprenticeship” before she achieved her breakthrough as a pop star in 1967. After a less than stellar career at Columbia Records, from 1960 to 1966, she went over to Atlantic Records.
These artists stand out as exceptionally popular performers with multi-decade careers; in fact, they are the top rhythm-blues artists of this entire time period. The three of them brought experience with gospel singing to bear upon their performance of secular material. They developed an intense, flamboyant, gritty, and highly individual approach to the singing of pop music.
This is a small description of these great artists and this is a night you don’t wanna miss, so come down to your favorite pub and experience the most powerful soul night .
