You know you can always expect quality sounds on Midnight Soulstice. And on tonight's show, we want to take you all the way back to the roots of Soul music. We agree with how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame defines Soul â as âmusic that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm & blues into a form of funky, secular testifying.â Sounds deep, don't it?
