Photos that capture the legacy of the soul, from Tina Turner to Amy Winehouse.
At the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties, soul-black music emerged with elements of R & B, gospel and blues in the south of the United States and later in Detroit, where pop-infused Motown hits and Chicago in their had a grip. Although male artists such as James Brown were in favor of the soul for the first time, women became a driving force in the genre, when legends such as Etta James and Aretha Franklin were central.
Soul music became a powerful tool for tackling social and political issues, such as civil rights and the Vietnam War, which also involved white soul singers like Dusty Springfield and Janis Joplin.
