Blue-eyed soul

Blue-eyed soul (also called white soul[1]) is rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music performed by White artists.[2] The term was coined in the mid-1960s, to describe white artists whose sound was similar to that of the predominantly black Motown and Stax record labels. Though many R&B radio stations in the United States in that period would only play music by Black musicians, some began to play music by white acts considered to have "soul feeling"; their music was then described as "blue-eyed soul".[3][4]
