Soul Woman on CD

Description

SOUL WOMAN is an incredible 80 track, 4CD album of the biggest and best finest female soul singers of all time. The fabulous collection spans decades, from the 60s anthems of Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield (celebrating 50 years of RESPECT and SON OF A PREACHER MAN), to the disco-infused sisterhood of Chaka Khan’s 1978 hit ‘I'm Every Woman’ and Diana Ross’ ‘I’m Coming Out’. In addition to classic soul and disco, there are legendary ladies from the nu-soul era: Mary J Blige, Mica Paris, Amy Winehouse. Soul music, in the hands of women, could be a fey shuffle from the cooing early girl groups, raw belting emotion from the mind-bending, dizzying heights of Motown, could incorporate electronic forays in the energetic throes of disco, or take an ice-cool edge in the R&B of the 90s…this collection shows that the soul of a woman is at the heart of soul music.
