Best of Blue Eyed Soul

Blue Eyed Soul is a genre that blues&rhythm or soul music performed by WHITE people. That's why it's called Blue Eyed... It's thought that this term is used by Georgie Woods ( radio DJ ) first to describe The Righteous Brothers in early 1960s. Although it tastes the same with Soul music, it's not as popular as it. I've been searching for more songs by this genre decently. But songs are really limited when it comes a specific kind of a special genre.

Most of the people and singers, even including Daryll Hall ( he's pointed one of the best Blue Eyed Soul singers) describes the term "Blue Eyed Soul" as racist.

Step By Step - Hello

Hi!..

It's always nice to decide writing something about music but also it is hard when it comes to write. Music is my life, I bet music is your life too... Music is everybody's life. Everybody finds something at music even if it's good or bad. I just decided to write something, or "everything" about music. You're on the right page if something's stuck in your head while listening to music, or something makes you want to search about the song.

Stay with the tune! 🎷
