Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures Volume 1

I first coined the term Deep Soul in the mid-60s to define a style that had surfaced earlier, but which, in the Golden Age of American Soul, became increasingly a force to reckon with.

I described Deep Soul at the time as "the ultimate in American Soul music", but I'd not argue if you claimed it was simply the sort of music that "made your liver quiver" or "your knees freeze". Either way it's music that gets to you and, once it's under your skin, there's no known cure-.-you're hooked for life. Not that any of those held in its thrall would want to take any such cure anyway-.-for many, Deep Soul is where it's ultimately at...and it brings it all home without fear or favour!
