The ”Soul songs that would make a grown man cry” playlist

Sad soul songs have a special place in my heart. Ever since I discovered Otis Redding, as a teenager. Sung properly the soul ballad should touch your heart string and make it tremble.

Therefor I collected my favorites of these songs in a little playlist.

To me Otis Redding is the pinultimate singer of sad Soul songs. With his rawness, laying his heart on the line, for you to chew on.

So be it, that the songs are about love and heartbreak, not philosophy.

For a long time he was on top of my list of dead artist I most would have like to see live. Now only Duke Ellington has passed him by.

Otis did of course inspire lots of other artist and had contemporary singers who also put a huge mark on the genre. Leaving a fabulous catalogue of songs for us to enjoy.

Here’s a documentary about Otis and as a bonus, my Otis playlist.
