America's music legacy. Soul

It might be surprising, but not it would not be perverse to invite the reader to first watch the archive where Otis Redding sings "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" surrounded by about thirty children, which is found at the end of the program In the group, there is a kid who has such an innate sense of dance and showmanship that it makes Otis Redding smile. After this dazzling musical moment, it is possible to pick up the thread of a beautiful program dedicated to Soul Music. Hybridization of gospel and rhythm & blues, brought to the end of the 1950's by Ray Charles, in phase with the spirit of the struggle for civil rights of Martin Luther King, soul music marks the desire for emancipation of the African-American youth, and the bringing to the foreground of black pride and its culture. This music, which both identifies and challenges, is not exempt from contradictions; it oscillates between incisive incantatory singing with James Brown, and sexualized syrupy ballads, as if it had to comply with the demands of entertainment. To produce its own effect with an insane but not kitsch look becomes a scenic imperative: Rufus Thomas' cape, canary yellow suit, and blood red boots are a perfect illustration of this. One forgives this narcissistic childishness as the expressiveness of the voices always reaches an exceptional level; you just have to listen to Carla Thomas, Gladys Knight or the versions of "Spanish Harlem" by Ben E. King or "For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler, who was Curtis Mayfield's sidekick in the group The Impressions to be convinced. Philippe Lesage
