The 100 Best Free Soul Songs

A combination of rhythm & blues and gospel music with a secular bent, soul music grew out of Fifties rhythm & blues, spurred mostly by Ray Charles' eclectic, decidedly secular late-Fifties hits. Here you'll find all your silky smooth Motown favorites from such stars as Marvin Gaye, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles and Diana Ross and the Supremes. They are all here -- the legendary bands who played during the tumultuous 60's and took rock and roll into its next golden age, not to mention sexy tracks from the latest and greatest on the soul scene. From "I Will Survive" to "Say My Name," our Top 100 Chart offers the very soul of soul.
