It was popularized in the postwar era in the town of Crescent. This genus stands out in its use of simple pop structures and Rock rhythms that have become very influenced by the "second line" and "parade" hits common to the city. The Caribbean music and Latin music from the 60, that earned a great importance in the city, also inspired to this genre of Soul to develop more exotic rhythms. Are also normal midtempo rhythms.

Origins

The first songs of this style of Soul emerged from the hand of songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint in 1960. Soon, however, this musical style began to assume great importance among other local and regional authorities. In the nineties, attracted the attention of many singers from other genres of soul music, in addition, influences to acquiring the Soul of the South. The success of this genre was originally developed in New Orleans, with little influence outside the city. Despite this, some musicians from Memphis have named the genre as a major element in the development of Soul of this city. That genre also influenced the Northern Soul and British soul. Around 1965, when the Soul of New Orleans had only five years of operation, Toussaint, the mentioned operator of this Soul kind, produced a slower version of gender, which cause much of the birth of Funk. The genus was about 24 national success.[1][2]
