Product Description
Album Description
* An alluring assortment of late 50s/early 60s black music that heralded the 60s soul explosion and this 4th volume, of a very successful series, collates many tracks that fall between other musical niches.
* Several are in-demand dancers on the Popcorn and R&B scenes: particularly Marv Johnson, Frank Minion, Della Reese and Hal Miller.
* Nobody else covers this area and it has strong appeal to general soul and Ace fans alike. It is certainly set to garner the critical and commercial acclaim accorded the previous three best-selling volumes (CDKEND: 123 / 147 / 189).
* Includes a lavish booklet in the finest Kent tradition, positively bursting with copious label reproductions, memorabilia and of course some supremely informative and highly entertaining notes.

This review is from: The Birth of Soul Vol.4 (Audio CD)
What was being called Soul Music in the 90s was sometimes not called that at the time.The word possibly originated from the title of a Ray Charles LP called Genius plus Soul equals Jazz.
However black music by the 60s had begun to pick up the habits of whites as they filled their music with banks of strings and the singers wrote songs pretending to be kids! Eg Sam Cooke. A lot of black music stood up as high school pop-like Jimmy Jones who emerged from a Gospel quartet. And here we have one Kenny Lynch.A black man born in London and really a Cockney who kicked off his career on EMI by covering American hits by the Drifters and Harold Dorman.In 1963 he became the first artist to cover a Lennon-McCartney song! Before that though he recorded a song called Puff (Up In Smoke)written by Giant Baum & Kaye who also wrote for Elvis and this single was issued in the States where they no doubt thought he was one of them! No one ever called Lynch a soul singer-he was simply a guy who was heard a lot on the radio and made about 4 singles a year.By 1963 he had a higher profile in the States as Johnny Tillotson had recorded a song he wrote when he fancied becoming a singer songwriter for 5 minutes! Here is also the original version of a song Bobby Darin recorded-Irresistable you
