Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind (American Soul: 1966–1972)

A powerful snapshot of late 1960s to early 1970s American soul music, Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind (American Soul: 1966–1972) brings together gritty Southern soul, polished Northern soul, and early funk-influenced R&B from one of the most creatively explosive eras in popular music.

Featuring essential performances from Lou Rawls, Bobby Womack, Ike & Tina Turner, The O'Jays, and Cannonball Adderley, this compilation captures the raw emotion, social energy, and genre-crossing creativity of the era.

From emotionally charged ballads like Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing and How I Miss You Baby to explosive reinterpretations such as Proud Mary, I Want To Take You Higher, and Come Together, the album highlights how soul artists redefined both original material and contemporary rock songs through groove, intensity, and vocal power.

Also featuring production work from legendary arranger David Axelrod, the collection balances deep soul storytelling with funk-driven rhythms and orchestral sophistication.

A rich and essential compilation for fans of classic soul, funk, and the golden age of American R&B.
