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]
