2LP Vinyl! A celebration of the greatest female artists in music! Masterpiece by the Queens Of Soul. Although the term »soul« appeared in US popular music as early as the 1930s, soul only emerged as an independent genre in the 1950s from gospel and rhythm 'n' blues and a pinch each of blues and jazz. Soul soon became the epitome of »black pop music«.

Emotionally colored singing skills are characteristic of Afro-American light music. Devoting yourself to the vibes, the groove and the message with all your soul and heart-rending singing, that's what soul is all about. Singers such as Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Tina Turner, Lavern Baker, Marlena Shaw and Diana Ross mastered this profession. You will find them alongside Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone, Dusty Springfield, Irma Thomas, Amy Winehouse, Ibeyi and many other artists on the tastefully compiled double LP »Soul Women«.
