Soul Live Albums
Are you ready to testify to your feeling?
Soul music has come out of combining gospel with the blues and it’s nothing if it doesn’t have passion.
There are live albums here that will take you back to a late night, sweaty club where the band punches hard when it needs to and then lightens up for the singer to pour out his heart and soul… screaming, shouting, singing so sweetly, whispering, hollering… whatever the style, you know the singer feels it.
There are some great live soul albums in this category by Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and many more.

The Supremes At The Copa 1965
The Supremes At The Copa is a live album by The Supremes.
It was recorded at the Copacabana club in New York in 1965. The Supremes at this stage were Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.
Originally the album was issued with 15 tracks and Diana Ross overdubbed her vocals in the studio because the recording was “not up to Motown’s standards.”
In 2012 an expanded version was issued:
- Disc 1 has the album as it was released in stereo plus ten previously unreleased mono versions with Diana Ross’s original vocals.
- Disc 2 has a complete show compiled from six recordings of the show at the Copa which has the original vovals and also includes some extra tracks.

Jackie Wilson at the Copa 1962
Jackie Wilson At The Copa is the only live album by Jackie Wilson that I know about.
It was recorded at the Copacabana in New York and released in 1962.
While I think of Jackie Wilson as a soul and R&B artist, this album seems to be close to the light jazz/lounge category. Like Sam Cooke when he performed at the Copa, I suspect that Jackie Wilson eased up on his performance for the audience.
Johnnie Taylor Live at the Summit Club 1972
Live at the Summit Club is a live album by Johnnie Taylor, recorded in 1972.
This was one of the performances featured in the documentary film Wattstax to commemorate the Watts race riots.
Johnnie Taylor is little known in the UK compared to soul legends like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. That’s a shame because this is a vintage performance.
In fact he is steeped in soul history in the United States. In the early 1950s he used to sing with Sam Cooke and then replaced him in the Soul Stirrers gospel group. Cooke signed him to his label in the early 1960s but it collapsed after Cooke’s death. Taylor then became a leading artist for Stax.
