Editing Soul music (section)

== Non-black musicians ==
The impact of soul music was manifold; internationally, white and other non-black musicians were influenced by soul music. [[British soul]] and [[Northern soul]], rare soul music played by DJs at [[nightclub]]s in Northern England, are examples.

Several terms were introduced, such as "[[blue-eyed soul]]", which is [[Rhythm and Blues|R&B]] or soul music performed by [[White (people)|white]] artists. The meaning of ''blue-eyed soul'' has evolved over the decades. Originally the term was associated with mid-1960s white artists who performed soul and R&B that was similar to the music released by [[Motown Records]] and [[Stax Records]].<ref name="pc52">{{Gilliland |url=https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19834/m1/ |title=Show 52 – The Soul Reformation: Phase three, soul music at the summit.

The term continued to be used in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly by the British media to refer to a new generation of singers who adopted elements of the Stax and Motown sounds. To a lesser extent, the term has been applied to singers in other [[music genre]]s that are influenced by soul music. Artists like [[Hall & Oates]], [[David Bowie]], [[Teena Marie]], [[Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds]], [[Frankie Valli]], [[Christina Aguilera]], [[Amy Winehouse]] and [[Adele]] are known as blue-eyed soul singers.

Another term is [[brown-eyed soul]], or soul music or R&B created and performed mainly by [[Hispanic and Latino Americans|Latinos]] in [[Southern California]] during the 1960s, continuing through to the early 1980s.<ref name="ALLmu">[{{AllMusic|class=explore|id=style/d11241|pure_url=yes}} allmusic: Brown-eyed Soul].

Latino groups on the East and West Coast also drew from the [[funk]]-influenced Philadelphia soul, or [[Philly soul|"Philly" soul]]. The West Coast [[Chicano rock|Latin rock]] scene continued to influence brown-eyed soul artists as well. Inspired by Valens, 1960s and 1970s bands such as [[Cannibal & the Headhunters]] ("[[Land of a Thousand Dances]]") and [[Thee Midniters]] played brown-eyed R&B music with a rebellious [[rock and roll]] edge. Many of these artists drew from the [[frat rock]] and [[garage rock]] scenes. However, the large Hispanic population on the West Coast began gradually moving away from energetic R&B to romantic soul, and the results were "some of the sweetest soul music heard during the late 1960s and 1970s."<ref name=ALLmu/>
