Soul
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Soul arose in the mid-1950s out of gospel, jazz and rhythm and blues. In 1954, Ray Charles took the step from church to the charts with I Got a Woman, set to the melody of a gospel song. Soul became the soundtrack of the civil rights movement; Aretha Franklin's Respect became a song for civil rights and women's rights at once.
Listening
Listening tip. In Respect, notice the melisma and the call and response between Aretha and the backing singers, the form of the church service.
