True Confessions of a Soul Man

There seems to alot of interest in classical,jazz,and rock music. But are there any aging boomers that remember 60s soul music, a staple of AM radio that rivaled the british invasion?? My favorites were Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Supremes, Four Tops, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin. There were all types of sounds. I hope there are some experts out there that can identify each type the Memphis sound, The Philly sound (right Trelja?),etc. Opinions, favorite groups or songs, histories, etc.
