What is crossover

[John Owen]

What is crossover I asked,  No one really answered. Most answers were very Sarcastic, like Dance floor Killers, Anorak music, Pointless , etc.

Any other Answers?

This topic has been discussed on here before, at length.

Very loosely, to me it's 1960's soul that sounds a little 1970's in it's production. Or 70's soul that sounds a little 60's in it's production, hence crossover.

Exactly my own definition.

For John Owen, here's a fairly recent thread on the subject. Can't say I agree with all the comments, but each to their own.

Just read the article pages I posted in the linked topic. It will explain it all.

A loose term for a foot in each camp Soul music , sometimes works, sometimes  doesn’t , sometimes sounds good , a lot of times sounds a little weak doesn’t quite get there, because when you walk in the middle of the road your not getting anywhere fast, it’s become over the years a sweeping statement on Soul music that in my interpretation is much too generalising and simple to explain, Just like all Soul music there will be Good and Bad Crossover whatever it is LoL,
