Psychedelic soul
Psychedelic soul is a subgenre of soul music that thrived during the late 1960s and early 1970s. A blending of psychedelic rock and soul music, the style is best exemplified in the work of multicultural rock band Sly & the Family Stone. Others, most notably The Temptations and their producer Norman Whitfield, War, The Undisputed Truth, and The Fifth Dimension, followed the path laid out by the work of Sly Stone and his band. Psychedelic soul led the way for a harder, less subdued sound to permeate through black music, leading the way for the mainstream funk music of the early 1970s and later disco.
