The happy,ugly,romantic,brutal,cool, 60' . The Rolling Stone song Gimme Shelter was release at he end of 69 (December 5, 1969 according to wiki so I'm not 100% sure about that) .A perfect song to describe peoples feelings during that age.

Classic Promo promo clip of the Moodies from 1964 doing their version of a song originally sung by Bessie Banks. I wonder where Queen got the idea for their Bohemian Rhapsody clip from 12 years later!

UK RnB was more guitar-led and blurred more seamlessly with Rock n Roll and early Rock - think the Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Them, Spencer Davies Group... blues and boogie combined with skiffle and rock. However Moody Blues and Spencer Davies group are some examples of clear U.S. influence

Although the swing has nearly completely straightened out, you can hear the odd stutter beat or 'step' groove, which gives rise to the idea of 'pocket', and whether a groove is 'pushed' or 'pulled'

Burt Bacharach wrote this one, displaying the inventive, non-linear structure and hook-based grooves of the genre, and also it's ability to cross styles

Arrangement is all about gradual and emotive dynamics - strip the track right back so that you can bring in those long, sustained horns, voices and organs to add meaning

This could very nearly be The Stones right? Just from the intro

The ballad as a form exists in almost every genre - what time signature is this?

Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

# data[].attributes.body
This track really defines RnB and Soul of the early 60s, and was re-released several times (because it deserved it)

Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come (Official Lyric Video)

# data[].attributes.body
Phil Specter of Motown developed this recording approach, reflected by the creative arrangments and grand, emotional feel demanded by performers. Wall of Sound would use huge, multi-layered orchestras, including 3 pianos, 2 drum kits, 5 basses, tubular bells, full choirs, you name it, and would be performed live, using distance mixing. Later he would multitrack and bounce down with only the 4 tracks available for the majority of this decade

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas- Nowhere to Run

# data[].attributes.body
Culturally drawing on Spirituals and Blues, the topic of 60s RnB reflects the hardships caused by racism and segregation - this is a working class music, and the outlook is fatalistic

Performers are rehearsed to the utmost and appear calm and in control - only the singer can lose it. The bands are tight as hell

Hypnotic textures, drops, and breaks, this is dance music

First described as Jump Blues, then Race Music, then Sepia Series, the fusion of rock, roll, blues, gospel, and cuban rhythms laid the foundation for Disco, Funk, Soul, and even Ska

Repetitive, syncopated grooves that lay the foundation for funk

Gospel-like, sustained and long backing vocals underneath a free-wheeling ad-libbing emotional lead

Driving, straight, snare down and backbeat rhythms straight out of rock

Highlighting the Gospel and Spiritual aspects and moving even further away from Swing, Soul is about bearing that of the same name

Originally used to define all music of African American origin which wasn't blues, the term was therefore seen by some as derogatory, and is still often applied exclusively to black artists.

Remember the Rock n Roll / Rhythm n Blues melting pot of the late 50s? Neither RnB nor Rock n Roll were solely black or white, but you can see with these two early RnB hits of 1960 that the topics of interest were changing - Cooke's is about prisoner life, Checker's is about a dance craze... but then, so is the Contours'...

# data[].attributes.body
in 1959 the first record labels owned and run by African Americans made their debut: Sam Cooke's 'Sar', and Berry Gordy's 'Motown'. Sam Cooke made his money in the smooth pop and early RnB roots of the 50s, where the radio meant that nobody knew he was black; Gordy was a songwriter with Jackie Wilson...
