Memphis soul is stylish, funky, uptown soul music that is not as hard-edged as Southern soul. It is a shimmering, sultry style produced in the 1960s and 1970s at Stax and Hi Records in Memphis, Tennessee, featuring melodic unison horn lines, organ, bass, and a driving beat on the drums. Many of the songs in this style were performed by vocalists backed by the house bands for Stax and Hi Records. The Memphis soul sound was similar to the Motown Sound from Detroit Michigan.

  • Memphis soul is stylish, funky, uptown soul music that is not as hard-edged as Southern soul. It is a shimmering, sultry style produced in the 1960s and 1970s at Stax and Hi Records in Memphis, Tennessee, featuring melodic unison horn lines, organ, bass, and a driving beat on the drums. Many of the songs in this style were performed by vocalists backed by the house bands for Stax and Hi Records. The Memphis soul sound was similar to the Motown Sound from Detroit Michigan. After the rise of disco in the late 1970s, Memphis soul declined somewhat in popularity.
  • Il Memphis soul è uno sottogenere della soul music elegante e allo stesso tempo funky meno "squadrato" del Southern Soul. È uno stile "torrido" e "sfavillante" nato negli anni '60 e '70 a Memphis, nel Tennessee, negli studi della Stax Records e della Hi Records, caratterizzato da un suono elegante, melanconico e melodico prodotto da fiati, organo, basso e batteria Tra i primi sviluppatori del Memphis Soul troviamo il trombettista Willie Mitchell,altri rappresentanti del M. soul sono stati Al Green il quale registrò con la Hi records e i Booker T. & the MG's, i quali suonarono però anche il Southern Soul. Dopo l'ascesa della disco music il Memphis Soul perse in popolarità ed iniziò il suo progressivo declino.
