Soul Voices - Soul with a Message 1960–1980
Now available to order

A richly illustrated book exploring how soul music became a powerful voice for justice, identity, and spirit in Black America.

It dives into an era when music was more than entertainment — it was a way of speaking truth, building community, and expressing resistance.

Featuring over 300 different artists and 345 songs, Soul Voices connects lyrics, context, and culture — showing how each track is part of a bigger story of hope, struggle and joy. Individually and collectively, they offer a powerful window into African American life during some of the most transformative decades of the 20th century.

While a few well-known names appear, the heart of the book lies with the lesser-known voices — rare and obscure 45s with powerful messages that still resonate today.

This is an invitation to rediscover those voices. They deserve to be heard.
