Retro Soul Bands and Artists List
Retro soul, sometimes written as retro-soul, is a contemporary popular music genre that emulates the singing, arrangements and recording techniques of traditional American soul music from the 1950s to the 1970s. This differs from neo-soul and contemporary R&B as it intentionally emphasizes a vintage style.
This music was brought to mainstream popularity by singer Amy Winehouse in 2006. Her Grammy Award-winning Back to Black record production sported a vintage soul style and featured the backing from the Dap-Kings. Subsequent releases by artists Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne, Adrian Younge, Raphael Saadiq, Lee Fields, Shoshana Bean and Charles Bradley continued in this tradition.
