The Sound of Instrumental Soul

Get into the groove with "The Sound of Instrumental Soul," a playlist packed with deep, funky instrumentals that span decades of soul and R&B. With classics like Booker T. & the M.G.'s "Green Onions" and The Meters' "Cissy Strut," alongside cuts from The Budos Band, The Soul Searchers, and El Michels Affair, this collection highlights the raw energy of rhythm sections and horn stabs that define the genre. Whether it's the smooth take of Willie Mitchell’s "Groovin’" or the driving percussion of Mickey & The Soul Generation's "Give Everybody Some," these tracks bring together the foundation of soul music—without the lyrics, just the groove.
