A new compilation of reggae classics from the most important label in Jamaican history!
Studio One Soul traces the link between American Funk and Soul and Jamaican Reggae within the legendary Studio One Records.
Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, The Temptations, King Floyd, Booker T and The MGs - all these artists had a huge influence on Jamaican artists, and this compilation contains versions of songs by each of them. Featuring classic Reggae Funk and Soul tracks from giants of the genre and rarer tracks, Studio One Soul covers over 20 years of classic Reggae, from Rocksteady Funk to deep Roots music.
Following Studio One Rockers, this second journey into the vaults of Studio One tells the story of the important link between American funk, soul and Jamaican reggae. From music from the mid-1960s (and the arrival of Rocksteady) to the early 1980s, Studio One Soul features versions of American Funk and Soul hits (mostly almost unreleased) by some of the many classic artists who recorded at Studio One.
