SOUL MUSIC (sohl myoo-zik)
A fervent type of popular music developed in the late 1950’s by black Americans as a
secularized form of gospel music, with rhythm-and-blues influences, and distinctive for its earthy expressiveness, variously plaintive or raucous vocals, and often passionate
romanticism or sensuality.
