First edition: Soul Voices – Soul with a Message 1960–1980

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.

First edition available now
Comes with an exclusive 7” vinyl featuring two rare political soul tracks from 1973

    Looks great.

    Does the book have any reference to the Black US airmen who spent time over in the UK and experienced racial integration in the 60s? Or even those from the Deep South who experienced the lack of segregation in the UK in the 70s/80s? I might be able to spend some of my project budget on purchasing a copy!yes

    No, unfortunately not. Only focus on African Americans living in the US.
