James brown of King Records has a unique style, with 1958 squeezing into the pop music charts. From 65438 to 0960, JimStewart founded a satellite record company in Memphis, focusing on cultivating local singers. In the same year, he released a series of hit songs recorded by RufusThomas and his daughter Carla. Of course, their large-scale success still depends on cultivating otis redding. Because there was already a satellite record company on the West Coast, they had to change their name to Stax Records. Soon, they reached sales agreements with Atlantic Records and Fame Company of massl Shoals Studio, and JerryWexler was responsible for contacting Atantic artists to record records in the south. Due to the local rhythm and blues band RoyalSpades, then BookerTandtheMGs and MemphisHorns, Stax Company has its own chamber music band. The young producer Chipsman soon began to set up his own recording studio. IsaacHayes David Porter Dixon, also known as "Sam and Dave", wrote many works. Eccentric and full of fantasy, TomStafford recruited several young producers such as RickHall and Billie cheryl, as well as keyboard player SpoonerOldham and singer Dan Payne [Dan Penn, who sings more black songs than Elvis Presley]. Their first songs were all by ArthurAlexander. All these have set off a wave of soul music creation among black artists. In addition to the people mentioned above, Aretha, pickett pickett, Joe Tex, Percy Slick, Benjamin Earl King, Beni, William Bell, Burke, Solomon and others all recorded records in small recording studios run by some white amateurs. Their method is supported by young musicians living in the south, who are flexible and full of energy. They spared no effort to trudge on the difficult road. At that time, these artists did not have the conditions to discuss together at any time, but the early music synthesis competition came into being under such circumstances (although it happened by accident, it was a fact). It touched the hearts of a whole generation.
As we all know, the golden age of soul songs ended quietly with the assassination of1MartinLutherKing on April 4th, 968. Since then, blacks all over the United States have irreproachable launched a series of revenge activities. Stax Company had to suspend business temporarily because the personal safety of employees could not be guaranteed. At the conference of the National Federation of Radio and Television Commentators held on 1968, wexler was hanged by simulation and some people were beaten. It is said that many people have to start carrying guns for this reason. In fact, despite the complete victory of black people in the process of entering the pop music scene, black artists and businessmen (except BerryGordy in Chicago) could not maintain their success and were forced to turn to white enterprises (until the 1980s, this situation did not change much. If you are not lionel richie, big companies will ignore you. The golden age of soul songs also marks the end of apartheid that has existed for many years in reality. At the same time, the human rights movement began to flourish. Of course, it will take 20 years, 30 years or even longer for the American people to eliminate the profound influence of racial oppression for more than 300 years. Artists who devoted themselves to this music revolution in Stax and fame also showed their talents and made various explorations. However, some classical music schools are still working hard, and their works still occupy a high position in the hearts of the audience.
Arnold Shaw expounded such a theory in his book BlackPopularMusicinAmerica'86' 86 that rhythm and blues music is dogmatic, while soul Motown pop music is anti-dogmatic. Bai Le combined these two music forms into one, and the "RIGHTEOUSBROTHERS" singing group successfully realized the true meaning of soul songs. People call their unique music style "Blue-eyed Soul Song". Winwood 1987 won the Grammy Award, which is another achievement in the Linger era. The term "Northern Soul Song" means that the white pop music in northern England has absorbed a lot of nutrition from the great black music, not from the boring and artificial performances in London TV programs, and even the music in the ballroom of English clubs has been greatly influenced by Soul Song. Born in a church, Al Green became one of the greatest artists in the 1970s. "Sweet Soul Song" refers to a black romantic singer like PeaboBryson. AlJarreau's records, like other records published in the 1980s, were once unsalable, but his affectionate singing touched thousands of listeners. In the mid-1980s, people engaged in advertising, film and television, and record industries were all between 30 and 40 years old. They know how great the classic soul songs are. Atlantic magazine reissued seven double records with the original recordings. As long as you don't act rashly, soul songs are a sign of beauty and pleasure.
