Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.

I've always been a firm believer that soul music never dies. The artists we still listen to today, years after their music was first heard are mostly soul artists; Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan. We still sing along to all of them with our hearts.

Love is the music that inspires our souls to dance.

Soul music is timeless.

Music and the arts are not just something to make people feel good. They elevate the soul and broaden the entire personality. It's easy to say they aren't needed because culture seems intangible. But not having it deprives young people of a cultural heritage.

People have this perception of soul music of somebody shouting.
