Now the curious can sample the real thing, something they couldn't do pre-2000.Īs to the question your Daddy B. What has changed is the accessibility of Southern Soul music. It's easy to forget that 99% of Southern Soul's potential audience is still out there, untapped. Not only that-I still think it fulfills the same function today.

I needed a reference point (and 'Tyrone' was a good one) to give them an inkling of what this 'southern soul' music was all about.

I followed the hiphop scene with the fanaticism with which I now follow Southern Soul, and at the time nobody-I mean nobody outside the Deep South-wanted to believe traditional R&B still lived, i.e. Nice's #67 ranked Southern SoulĪuthor's Forward: It seems like I wrote this critique in another century, and that's almost true.
