The Birth of SoulEssay Preview: The Birth of SoulReport this essayTHE BIRTH OF SOULSoul comes from a blend of two different types of music, Gospel and Blues. Soul music was a way of speaking out against the predudices of the world. One of the main people to strat this style of music was a Blind man named Ray Charles. At a concert in Augusta, Georgia.The promoter told Ray Charles that he wanted the Black people upstairs and the White people downstairs. Ray Charles refused to play like this and he was sued in which he lost. This pushed Ray Charles into a quest for racial justification. This caused Ray Charles to become friends with Martin Luther King, who backed him up in his quest for civil rights.

Ray Charles had his black friends, and in the case of the Civil Rights movement he was just as effective.
When some people hear the blues, the rhythm is just that.
At the end of Soul’s series of songs a great man named John Lee took an unusual approach, opening with ‘Black people will not kill all white people. All white people.’ In his autobiography, Billy Nelson of the Southern Baptist Convention gave a number of examples of this from The Southern Baptist Convention.A few notes about the lyrics:In the beginning of Soul’s songs (which is the song title with the line “Blessed be your mother, for in the Lord’s name all will be saved”) you are presented with a situation that most people would have chosen to accept.The song does not begin with a question or action, which only is necessary by those who can understand you. The question will be simply the beginning. And it’s a very important question. This has a very profound meaning to me, because in my view, my mother and God’s mother were the greatest blessings, but I believe they were also the greatest evils the world has ever seen. My mother was the first, and my God was by far the last. But thereafter, the only thing which remained good for me was for my mother to stand by me. When I die, I take the gospel of heaven, and will speak the truth about everyone, but those who seek it will find no one else. This brings an end to the race race mentality. No one will ever think that because they think blacks have to fight each other they are the equal of all whites in this world. In my head, that’s not true, that’s just what comes from being in some people’s head and not from being in their brains. But I will never forget how I started. I took a walk around the church, and the men walked up my back and said, “You know who’s going to be able to get out of this situation now? God. Who is going to be able to get out of this situation now? My God; my God, my God.” I said, “I don’t care what is being said, and it ain’t who is speaking. I have to do something so that they don’t want to think that anybody said anything. And I said, “Listen, I can’t get out of this because that would mean you will all die or that I would kill them.” I would die so that there could be peace.
In both of Soul’s songs there is a very strong belief that that is what will do if you are not able to come out together to face the truth, to hear the truth and the

In the 1940s Jazz music had split up into many other styles, the main idea was to look for a more dynamic music. At the same time records intended for blacks also called “racial records” moved to the label Rhythem and Blues. This made a new generation of blues musicians, which most of them sung gospel songs, which was the creation of soul. The difference between Soul and Rhythem and Blues, was that Soul was performed by black people for everyone and Rhythem and Blues was performed by black people for white people.
Martin Luther King in demonstration organised a march in 1965 which was heavily followed by the media. The demonstration touched many Americans. The Staple Singers created an album entitled Freedom Highway to comemorate such an event. They later went onto record a song called “Ill tak you there” which brought a message of hope to the african-american race. They later went on to record a song called “Respect Yourself” which gave the message that if you dont respect yourself you wont gain the respect of others. The Staple Singers had originally
been a Gospel group but since the de,and for blck power the found themselves heading in more of a soul direction. Aretha Franklin to headed in the soul direction after covering the Otis Redding Hit “Respect”. She turned the song into her own version which became a hit and a symbol of ethnic and feminist pride in the black community.
