About this item

Easily the best of the five discs packaged together in host Casey Kasem's Rock n' Roll Goldmine Boxed Set, The Soul Years features riveting performances by some of immortal black musicians who helped define the decade of the 1960s. Taking nothing away from their rock & roll contemporaries, the fact is that many of the soul and R&B artists of that era (along with their musicians, producers, and songwriters) were more experienced, more professional, and simply more entertaining than their rock counterparts. The live turns by the likes of Aretha Franklin (a febrile "Respect"), Otis Redding ("Try a Little Tenderness," recorded not long before his death in a '67 plane crash), Ike and Tina Turner ("River Deep, Mountain High"), and James Brown (check out the Godfather of Soul's dancing on "I Feel Good"), among others, are galvanizing and charismatic.
