By 1960, the sound of black popular music had turned away from a driving, largely up-tempo rhythm and blues to-wards a more emotionally poignant style described at the time as secularized gospel. The term "soul" popped up here and there, but only became common parlance after Ray Charles's "I Believe To My Soul" was released at the end of 1959. This compilation, part of the History of Soul series, brings together the finest tunes before soul went main-stream, accompanied by a 28-page booklet exploring the historical background from the years 1959 and 1960. Featuring Isley Brothers, The Soul Seekers, Barrett Strong, The Sensational Wonders, The Meditation Singers, The Falcons, Sugar Pie DeSanto, The Sunset Travelers, Big Jay McNeely, The Highway QC's.
