Collection: Soul, Funk & R&B Vinyl Records - Groove, Emotion & Timeless Rhythm on Vinyl

Our soul, funk and R&B catalogue runs from the Motown and Stax foundations — Aretha Franklin's I Never Loved a Man, Otis Redding's Otis Blue, Nina Simone's I Put a Spell on You — through the 70s peak of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life, and Sly & The Family Stone's Stand! and There's a Riot Goin' On.

The pure Funk tradition is represented by James Brown, Earth, Wind & Fire, Funkadelic, Tower of Power, Rick James and Curtis Mayfield. The 80s pop-soul era brings Michael Jackson, Prince, Sade, Tina Turner and George Michael; the 90s and 2000s neo-soul and R&B moment brings Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse. Janis Joplin's blues-soul crossover and the Memphis-soul tradition Curtis Mayfield carried forward are both also represented.

The contemporary edge of the genre is driven by SZA, The Weeknd, Olivia Dean, Raye, Lola Young and Adele.
