I love RnB and Soul music. When I was big enough to climb up on the family piano bench, I immediately began teaching myself a Ray Charles song and have been at it ever since. It’s feel-good music, so I naturally recommend adding some classics to your wedding playlists.
Here are 10 of my all-time favorite classic RnB/Soul tunes for weddings. I couldn’t choose a top 10 because there are just so many great songs. Instead, this series will be a work in progress with more posts to come!
You may recognize the beginning of Etta James’ Something’s Got A Hold On Me which was recently sampled in Avicii’s massive club hit Levels and also Flo Rida’s hit: Good Feeling. Both have been going strong on the radio for over a year now.
So, as Marvin Gaye once said: Let’s Get it On!
