deep soul
Core spiritual self
Deep soul is a style of soul music from the American South, particularly associated with studios in Memphis, Muscle Shoals, and New Orleans during the 1960s and early 1970s.
The sound is raw, emotionally intense, and rooted in gospel and blues traditions, with artists like Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Al Green delivering vocals of unguarded passion.
Deep soul emphasizes feeling over polish: That's not Motown—that's deep soul.
