Soul music is timeless.

Soul music is true to its name. It's music that connects to your soul, your spirit. When music resonates with people's spirit like that, when people can emotionally connect with something or it helps to heal them, transform them, that never goes out of style. People will always need something to relate to.

I figured as long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train.'

Soul music is soul music. It can be wrapped up in a neo soul package; it can be called hip-hop soul. But soul is soul, and it's been around; it will never go away.

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.

I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

I think the word soul has gotta come into it. Music that's created just for consuming lacks that soul, that swing, that feeling.

Music is like the soul of the planet.

Soul music as we've always known it hasn't changed. There are different players now with different attitudes, but there is nothing new being done musically.

Soul music is pain - you can hear the slaves, the beatin' and the hurtin'.
