Studio One Soul - Various Artists [VINYL]

Following on from 'Studio One Rockers', this second journey into the vaults of Studio One tells the story of the important link between American funk and soul and Jamaican reggae. Ranging from music taken from the mid-1960's (and the arrival of rocksteady) through to the beginning of the 1980's, 'Studio One Soul' features versions of US funk and soul hits (many rarely heard before) from some of the many classic artists who recorded at Studio One. American soul music has always been an important influence on Jamaican reggae.
