- The Basics
Blue-eyed soul is what happens when the basic requirements of great soul and R&B — big voice, earth-moving energy, raw emotion — are met by artists whose skin colour happens to be white. Here we've assembled the sub-genre's founding fathers, including the Righteous Brothers ("You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"), The Young Rascals ("Groovin'"), and, of course, Elvis ("Suspicious Minds"). The river of white soul runs deep in Next Steps.

The community of blue-eyed soul singers is broad, based on one universal litmus test: the existence of a direct link from voice to soul. So it is that Boy George and Culture Club — "Time (Clock of the Heart)" — exist on our playlist alongside the Box Tops ("Cry Like a Baby"), Dr. John ("Right Place Wrong Time"), Lewis Taylor ("Stoned Part 1"), and Joss Stone ("Spoiled"). Bono and Lulu pull on their soul boots, in Deep Cuts.

The icons of blue-eyed soul have earned a place in the highest reaches of the rock hierarchy (U2's "In a Little While"; "Wild Honey" by the Beach Boys) as well as the more innovative reaches of pop charts: ABC, for example, delivered their homage to Smokey Robinson — "When Smokey Sings" — in 1987 and captured a whole lot of soul in the process, while Paul Weller showed his soul leanings on the Jam's 1982 hit "The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow)."

The soul talents of “whitey” can so often look sub-par, which makes inclusion on our playlist of the blue-eyed elite an instant mark of quality. The Young Rascals not only had a 1967 #1 hit with “Groovin’,” but they also represented a force for racial integration in song as in life; the work of Dan Penn (better known as a writer of soul than a performer) crosses over into the output of Aretha Franklin; while on home turf, Jimmy Barnes truly bristles with soul on tracks like “When Something Is Wrong with My Baby.” Forget the colour — feel the quality.
