In my memory, the 8 key boogie sound of the late forties carried into R & B. When the radio stations did not want to play R & B as done by the original bands, they transitioned into Rock and Roll with Bill Halley, Elvis and guys like Gene Vincent. Soul music was always in R & B, and was copied into Rock and Roll. Therefore, Rock and Roll grew out of R & B, not the other way around. Elvis and them came out of Memphis, not Detroit. Lived through the fifties, sixties, seventies and still going.
Soul was part of rock-n-roll music. It became a seperate flavor after it started becoming popular among the white teenagers, the record buyers in those days.
But like it or not Morrypix, it was part of rock-n-roll.
Soul music is in a category all by its self and one that should be recognized more that it has.Artis such as Sam Cooke, Sam&Dave, Joe Tex, Wilson Pickett ( to name a few) laid the foundation of Soul music and influenced many.
@creaturebotman Chuck Berrys poetic lyrics and other R&R songs had rock and roll feelings. Soul artists lyrics came from the very essence of the writers soul!
@Morrypix So it has to be an extremist view right? INSULT you say? Why must you pit Soul against Rock & Roll? It is MUSIC... Period! Enjoy it & get over it!
What's the matter with you Wilson Pickett fans? There are a whole swath of his hits that are not posted including "FOR BETTER OR WORSE.", 'DON'T KNOCK MY LOVE", "TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR", "I'M A MAN AND A HALF", and many more! So, get with it YouTubers; We need another "Pickett's Charge", you dig?
DandJRuffin YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. LORD KNOWS WE'RE LOSING THE GREAT ONES. For many moons PICKETT,,BROWN,,DIDDLEY were MY GUYS on every station I worked. THIS IS REAL ROCK&ROLL. We still have STEVE CROPPER
I also adore Eddie LeVert. I hope he'll be feeling well enough sometime (after the terrible tragedies in his life) to come back and sing. He has an unforgettably beautiful voice ...
The GREATS are slowly leaving us. I will miss WILSON PICKETT the rest of my life. LORD KNOWS I played the HELL outa his records when I was 'ON THE AIR" at every station I worked on THEMOJOMANdotCOM
Rock and soul combined together is known as the blues

@simian1842a You absolutely right bro. ... I was there through it all too. A memorable pivot point worth mentioning, I think, was Big Joe Turner.

@5871248 It's nice to know that others know about Pickett leading the Falcons. He re-did " I found a love" as a solo,,BUT it' just ain't the same.
