Blue-Eyed Soul

Blue-eyed soul (also known as white soul) is rhythm and blues or soul music performed by white artists. The term was first used in the mid-1960s to describe white artists who performed soul and R&B that was similar to the raw, expressive music of the Motown and Stax record labels.

@Crustclock: The difference is that Van Morrison's (Scottish) soul comes from a completely different cultural milieu than that of the black American artists who originally headed up 'Soul' music as a genre. @akilahsigler: This is kind of naive. It is almost the same as saying that music doesn't need history. Consider the following extreme examples: 1. An "Irish Folk" musician descended from several generations of wealthy Dutch Afrikaaners, whose fortune originates from the slave trading business of the 16th century. 2. A group of Tibetan Buddhist monks performing Gregorian chant. Is it smart to let the wealthy Dutch heir be mistaken for an impoverished Irish farmer, or Tibetan Buddhists for Benedictines? When it comes to making genre distinctions in music (most are stupid and pointless,) it seems the only useful ones are those that distinguish class and ethnicity, as those genres usually have something valuable to say about the class and ethnic groups they developed out of.

I hate this term. Van Morrison is soulful as hell, what difference does it make that he's white?
