Soul Music is the term used to describe popular music of African American origin which evolved from the 1950s, through the Sixties and Seventies. The music, which is also known as Rhythm and Blues, has had a profound influence on entertainment in general and comprised the main ingredient in what became known as Rock and Roll.
