Psychedelic soul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychedelic soul is a concept used to categorize music that featured elements of psychedelic rock and soul/funk music. This kind of music that thrived during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Psychedelic soul is often connected to artists such as Sly & the Family Stone and Funkadelic though former's 1970s output is also often described simply as a funk and latter's music is also sometimes called funk-rock. However, they both took clear influences from psychedelic rock. Others, most notably The Temptations and their producer Norman Whitfield, War, The Undisputed Truth, and The Fifth Dimension, followed the path laid out by the work of Sly Stone and his band. Psychedelic soul led the way for a harder, less subdued sound to permeate through black music, leading the way for the mainstream funk music of the early 1970s and later disco.
Minnie Riperton and the Rotary Connection's cover of "Respect" is also a good example of psychedelic soul.
