Deep Soul is a musical style of R&B music, coined by Dave Godin.
Like, Southern soul, Deep Soul is gritty, funky soul music that borrows equally from the hard-driving energy of R&B and the fervor of Southern gospel. It is distinguished by a gospel-tinged singer, punchy horns, chicken-scratch guitars, and tight rhythm sections.
In deep soul, the singer tends to have more prominent gospel music influences than those in Southern soul, but the music sounds essentially the same. Deep soul emerged in the '60s and it reigned until the end of the decade, when smoother Philly soul became popular.
