Great choice. Lou Rawls does a great job in the background on that one too. I also strongly recommend A Change Gonna Come

This thread needs much more Otis Redding. Speaking of someone who died way before his time, he was killed at 26 in a plane crash. We missed out on some great, great music.

I've Been Loving You

These Arms of Mine

That's How Strong My Love Is

Try a Little Tenderness

Solomon Burke is great, but I have problems finding much good stuff on YouTube to share. There is a ton of live stuff, but I prefer his studio work.

Cry To Me
If You Need Me
I Can't Stop Loving You

Re: SOUL thread. give it to me.
 

Not quite sure if this is classed as soul, but worth mentioning anyway -

Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street

Man, Tarantino films have introduced me to some really great songs.

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On (Jack Black's cover in High Fidelity was pretty damn sweet)

Donny Hathaway, like Sam Cooke, died way too soon.

The Ghetto
Jealous Guy

The Staples Singers are generally considered more gospel but I think a lot of the stuff they did falls under the "soul" heading. Mavis still performs, I saw her a couple of years ago and she was awesome.


Respect Yourself

Let's Do It Again

Also ElD mentioned Bill Withers, excellent choice. Imo his "Live at Carnegie Hall" record is a must have, one the best live albums of all time
