Mit der Aufnahme von »I've Got a Woman« am18. November 1954 gab Ray Charles dem aufkommenden Rhythm& Blues eine Portion Swing mit, die der Tradition des Spiritual entlehnt war. Er legte damit den Grundstein für ein neues Genre,dem Sam Cooke mit sanfter Intonation und samtigen Klängen aus der Praxis des Gospel eine weitere Note hinzufügte. Es war die Geburtsstunde des Soul. Diese seelenvolle Musik für Körper und Geist beflügelte Emanzipation und Befreiung,Emotionen und Stolz, sie wurde zum prägenden Stil für zwei Jahrzehnte. Feat. Johnny Ace, Arthur Alexander, William Bell, Gene Allison, Chubby Checker, Chris Kenner, The Temptations, Jackie Wilson, Nancy Wilson, The Impressions, Thurston Harris, Joe Ivory Hunter, Dee Clark, Judy Clay, Ray Charles, Eddie Bo, The Falcons, The Isley Brothers, Mary Wells, Patience Valentine, Freddie King, Benny Spellman, Yvonne Fair, Don Covay, Etta James, Roy Lee Johnson u. a.
