Yes, that was the Golden Age of Soul. Today we are watching what use to be a great genre disappear and die. So sad for us oldies who remember what real soul shaking music was all about.
RIP Soul Music, I am praying for a resurrection!
Much Respect,
Stoneman

Sometimes a thing you think to be dead either isn't, or was and comes back anyway.
Let's not write off Soul Music just yet...
Instead, We should make some.
The magic, is the message, the heart, the soul, the wit...
What instruments you score it up with, is just what instruments you
score it up with.
As I progress as an artist, I more and more realize,
the entire world of sound is my palette.
I am all for appreciating the past.
But the notion, that one is supposed to so compartmentalize things,
as to decide 'oh, I can't do this, this is too sixties, or seventies, or eighties,
or nineties, etc...'
I just think that's a trap that people fall into.
But okay, now ya'll got me in the mood to get into the Soul Music thing a bit.
Tell you what. Stoneman,
what say we Ping Pong some real good new Soul Music into existence?
I'm gonna hit one. Then you hit one. Then I hit one. Then you hit one.
We do that for a while, they'll be a nice new stack of 'em sitting there.
Don't nobody worry about following old paths.
You can use anything, you can quote anything,
and as some dead guy once said
"you can syndicate any boat you row"...
You get it?
Deciding that it's 'all over' is the only thing makin' it 'all over'.
So, instead,
decide "you know, I do have some skills, let's hit 'em with the thrills."
What's that mean in plain English?
You got this, and you got that.
You got Lament,
Lament how good it was, cry about now.
Or you got Try,
Try to make stuff, that really picks up where the other stuff left off.
It's a matter of deciding.
