Mike Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 don't really get the thrust of your comments Russ any 'current uk soul' is always gonna be a different thing than the 'soul' discussion we have on here, right? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Every decade is different to the decade previous and todays Soul music is so far removed to what we grew up with it is beyond comparison really. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Sure, music moves on - it evolves. And when it comes to 'soul', I don't feel I recognise it anymore. I really do feel completely disconnected from the genre today and in many respects find it as far removed from 'soul' as 'R&B' is from 'rhythm and blues'. Also, in some respects the understanding and appreciation for soul music from the classic years is somewhat nostalgically challenged and even re-imagined. As the first-hand experiences of the people who lived 'soul' through the 60s and 70s die away, there only remains the second-hand experiences of the children of those parents. To paraphrase Jackie Wilson, it's like Chinese whispers getting louder. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Indeed. Many will say that real soul music was in decline in the late 70s. Think you have to judge todays music on its own terms. It isnt what we had and it never will be. That time has passed.
