Psychedelic soul (originally called black rock or conflated with psychedelic funk) is a form of soul music which emerged in the United States in the late 1960s.
- The Chambers Brothers – “Time Has Come Today” (1967) The Chambers Brothers originally released a two-minute, forty-second version of this song in 1966 before putting out the more famous eleven-minute version the following year.
- Diana Ross & the Supremes – “Love Child” (1968) Diana Ross can really sing just about anything. Who other than Michael Jackson could lead the classic Motown era and the disco era so impressively?
- The 5th Dimension – “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” (1969) The 5th Dimension were sort of the soul answer to fellow LA band The Mamas & the Papas (whose “Go Where You Wanna Go” was a hit for The 5th Dimension).
- Curtis Mayfield – “(Don’t Worry) If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go” (1970) The political, socially conscious songwriting of psychedelic soul owes a lot to what Curtis Mayfield was doing in the mid-’60s with The Impressions (“People Get Ready,” etc), and Curtis went full-on psych himself when he began a solo career at the turn of the decade.
- Sly and the Family Stone – Stand! Stand! might not be Sly & The Family Stone’s best record—that honor goes to 1971’s There’s a Riot Going On—but it was absolutely the last great entry in their career as psychedelic soul pioneers before moving on to greener (and funkier) pastures.
- Curtis Mayfield – Curtis. The ominous bassline, congas, Curtis Mayfield’s echoing voice-of-God soliloquy and eventual scream in opener “(Don’t Worry) If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Gonna Go” make it pretty clear up front that Curtis, his first post-Impressions album, isn’t cut from the same cloth as the more accessible Chicago soul of his previous group.
- Funkadelic – Maggot Brain. It’s hard to get more psychedelic, soulful or, well, funkadelic, than Maggot Brain. From the moment George Clinton’s spoken word gives way to Eddie Hazel’s iconic opening guitar solo, the listener is lifted from this Earth and transported to an entirely different one.
- Eugene McDaniels – Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse. As a buttoned-down pop-soul singer in the early ‘60s, Gene McDaniels had some minor Top 40 hits written by others that mirrored the Brill Building’s most syrupy instincts.
