Soul music's roots lie in gospel and rhythm & blues - but it was artists like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin who really made the world sit up and listen. By the 1960s the Tamla/Motown labels were releasing hit after hit from the likes of The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson Five and many more. You will learn the fundamentals of gospel and soul singing and musicianship as well as understanding the history and origins of these vibrant singing genres. Each repertoire-focused lesson will pull the group together to create an authentic unified rhythm and blues sound.
