Soul music is a genre that originated in the African American community in the United States during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of African-American gospel music, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Soul music became popular for dancing and listening, where U.S. record labels such as Motown, Atlantic, and Stax were influential in its development.

Characterized by its use of gospel-style vocals with secular lyrics, soul music often conveys strong emotions and themes of love, heartache, and social issues. The genre has produced some of the most iconic and influential artists in music history, including Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. Soul music continues to evolve and inspire, remaining a vital part of the musical landscape.
