A to Z of soul music from blues to gospel! These two cd's are jammed packed with the cream of the crop soul artists of the last 50 years or so. It starts with Ray Charles which is perfectly fitting with all the soul hits he had over the years. The best part for me is hearing all the new material that I had missed previously on other soul collections. Thank you KCLS for purchasing "Save a Seat for Me"!

I choose Vol. 3 because it has 56 cuts from 1954-57 (when I was a youth listening to the radio).

Lots of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke (with Soul Stirrers), and more.

Nice mix of gospel, soul, blues influences on American pop music.

Already listened to Vol. 2, just put hold on Vol. 4.
