V.A. - Singing From My Soul: Soul Chronology 5 (2014)

By 1960, the sound of black popular music had turned away from a driving, largely uptempo rhythm and blues towards a more emotionally poignant style described at the time as secularised gospel. The term soul popped up here and there, but only became common parlance after Ray Charles's I Believe To My Soul was released at the end of 1959. This compilation, part of the History of Soul series, brings together the finest tunes before soul went mainstream, accompanied by a 28-page booklet exploring the historical background from the years 1959 and 1960.
