Top 10 Soul Artists of All Time

Here are LYFSTYL’s Top 10 favourite Soul Artists of All Time. It is a requirement that everyman must own an album or at least a few songs from these great men listed below. These men by no means created love songs - they simply removed the cheesiness and made great fucking love songs that have actively gotten men laid since the beginning of time.

1. Marvin Gaye
2. Sam Cooke
3. Otis Redding 
4. Al Green 
5. Teddy Pendergrass
6. Isaac Hayes
7. Ben E King
8. Curtis Mayfield 
9. Bobby Cadwell
10. Luther Vandross

I made you kids a little mixtape filled with few of my favourite oldies that will no doubt have the women of your dreams melting. Before you hit the download button and due to legalities I had to put a little disclaimer. 

Warning:LYFSTYL cannot be held responsible for any babies that were made while listening to these musicians in the company of women.

Download at your own risk!!

Thanks for the download! Question: It’s a totally awesome list. Obviously, this isn’t my personal list. Should this be called, “Top Ten favourite MALE soul artists,” instead?

Prince American Bandstand Debut (1980) by AbzPunkPhoto

Prince sings “I Wanna Be Your Lover” & “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad”, Dick Clark interviews Prince between the songs.

RIP Dick, you will be missed.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

Late 70s/Early 80s Disco Prince LYING ABOUT HIS AGE (he is 22 at this time, not 19) and HOLDING UP HIS HAND WITH 4 FINGERS IN DICK CLARK’S FACE instead of actually speaking the number “4” and acting in general, like a shy toddler in hot pants.

It’s not really music exploration, but more of a retro-analysis / review / memorial….I remember watching music shows like American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons during the 70s and 80s….Dick, you will be dearly missed, my friend.

Kraftwerk — The Robots

Retro re-blogging with electronic music pioneer Kraftwerk’s 1978 “The Robots” track…Anybody remember 78? As I recalled it, it wasn’t too bad. The Knack had formed, and the Dead Kennedys played their first concert….Grease, Superman, Animal House, Halloween & other classic movies came out during that same year.
