Get Your Soul Right / Various Get Your Soul Right / Various CD

UK three CD collection that features many of the finest exponents of the Gospel Quartet style, highlighting their massive influence on the development of Soul music, Just as Soul music had it's 'Golden Age' in the 1960 s/1970 s, so Gospel had a similar period a decade earlier, with countless groups and soloists traversing the USA touring on what were called 'The Programs', with three or four groups doing vocal battle with each other in churches and theatres in the origin of 'house-rocking' music. Compiled and annotated by Soul and Gospel - and Solar Radio MD and DJ - Clive Richardson, Get Your Soul Right presents a selection of the best-known performers from the golden age of Gospel on recordings selected to display their influence on the Soul giants of the following decades, both in vocal delivery and musical styles and tempos, be it the hand-clapping revivalists or the tortuous simmering soulful burners - here you have the true roots of Soul.
