The Soul Clan - Soul Meeting / That's How It Feels

Year Released: 1968
Label: Atlantic Records – 45-2532
Genre: Deep Soul / Southern Soul

Description:
The Soul Clan was a short-lived supergroup uniting Solomon Burke, Arthur Conley, Don Covay, Ben E. King, and Joe Tex — five of soul’s most powerful voices. “Soul Meeting” is a rallying cry for unity and empowerment in the Black community, backed by a driving horn section and gospel-inspired call-and-response harmonies. “That’s How It Feels” slows the tempo, offering deep, church-infused soul that highlights each singer’s emotional intensity.

Though the project was brief, “Soul Meeting” stands as one of the most powerful collective statements of the late ’60s soul era — a precursor to the socially conscious collaborations that would follow in the 1970s. Original Atlantic pressings are prized by collectors for capturing this rare moment of unity among R&B’s greatest voices.
