There is a new series of this programme about ‘songs with a powerful emotional impact’ on BBC Radio 4. Each episode of 30 minutes is broadcast on Saturday mornings in the U.K., and repeated during the week. Plenty of earlier shows also available on iPlayer.
Last week featured ‘Diamonds and Rust’ by Joan Baez, and today it was Tender from Blur’s album 13. Good listening, often highly moving, always informative.
Interesting definition of soul music, and quite different from my understanding of the genre! There are a lot of songs with a powerful emotional impact that are nothing like what I understand as soul.
