The Best of Soul and Rhythm & Blues Collection (Black Music)

The Best of Soul and Rhythm & Blues Collection (Black Music) -------------------------------------------------------------- I came across this groovy collection in a zip file somewhere. It was an interesting assemblage of tunes, but it was a mess. Most files were untagged or mis-tagged, many misspelled and a few misnamed. I checked each one carefully, cleaned up and corrected the filenames and tagged them with the proper artist & title. This is the end result. I left the collection titled as I found it and with the songs it came with. You'll find though that it's not all soul, it's not all R&B, it's not all "black music" and some songs don't seem to belong. But it's still a great collection of wonderful old music. Enjoy. -------------------------------------------------------------- Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up.mp3 Aretha Franklin - Chain Of Fools.mp3 Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer For You.mp3 Aretha Franklin - Respect.mp3 Aretha Franklin - Think.mp3 Barrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want).mp3 Ben E.

xxxdave666. if you buy ice cream at a store doesn't mean you created dumbass. i'm not even black and i would classify this as black music because it was created by blacks. love the music, thanks for the torrent.

merci !!!! super cool _ (xxxdave666 =CONARD)

CharlieAllnut51 (2010-03-16)

xxxdave666 is not an idiot. It's simply another way to look at things. The point he makes is good (though he makes it in a clumsy way). Since white folks make up the majority of the US population, they buy most of the music. It's not a racist thing... it's simple demographics. I'm thinking it's pretty hard for ANY musician to have made it big without whites as a significant part of their fan base. Of course there were probably exceptions and it's probably less important these days than years ago.

Thank you.

What does it matter about colour, the music is amazing and what music should be like, regardless of colour, it doesnt even come into the equation.. dick.

deaths-aria (2011-02-04)

hmpf if that is your best argument for this not being black music you should reconsider even starting a discussion like this
what you say is barely true and if it would be it still wouldn't make sense
still have your opinion just don't start a discussion you can't win

MaxwellO (2011-05-17)

Thanks for the beautiful music! And, Tempzzz, you are perfectly right about colour not having anything to do with it. Xxxdave666, you're a total moron.

Elektroskank (2011-06-08)

Hmm... Here's another way of looking at it:
bill haley and his comets = mostly white
Bobby Darin = white
Bobby Helms = white
Patsy Cline = white
Peggy Lee = white
Righteous Brothers = white
Ritchie Valens = hispanic?
Steve Winwood = white
Everybody Else = black
A fairly even mix so I don't understand why this is labeled as black music. I mean, Patsy Cline? wtf? She was a country artist. Still though, there's alot of good stuff here so thx

mantongash (2011-07-30)

Thanx Dude, awxum stuff

FeniXrisN (2012-05-04)

Ain't No Sunshine is by Bill Withers, not Otis Redding. Other than that... right on!

slmndow (2012-05-26)

Thanks! and its a black musician who contributed the music we enjoyed our modern world...

cowfucker (2012-09-17)

Oh no it says black music, somebody call the waaambulance

TUNDR4 (2012-12-04)

blacks got some funky ass tunes. RESPECT!

blushingzebra (2013-09-06)

downloaded in 3 mins! thanks for the upload. all my black friends in Cleveland listened to this music when it came out. my brother and I were just ahead of our time for white kids. this music was rarely appreciated by whites when it first dropped. we who were born in the 50's seem to be the most progressive music listeners in america.. power to the people, right on!!!!!!!
