Chicago soul

Chicago soul is a form of soul music that arose during the 1960s in Chicago. Along with Motown in Detroit and hard-edged, gritty performers in Memphis (see Memphis soul), Chicago soul helped spur the album-oriented soul revolution of the early 1970s.

The best known Chicago soul singer was Curtis Mayfield, but it also featured Jackie Wilson, The Esquires, Major Lance, Tyrone Davis, The Chi-Lites, Barbara Acklin and Gene Chandler, along with producerss Carl Davis and Johnny Pate.
