The Best Soul Music

Tonight, it's the most soulful music ever made. As Dexys celebrate 45 years of the Young Soul Rebels, we want to know who you think has made the best soul music.

Dexy’s album Searching for the Young Soul Rebels was released 45 years ago this week. Kevin Rowland said of his band that 'we'll wear great clothes and make soulful music.' So tonight, we want to know who you think has made the best soulful music – maybe you can’t see past the Dock of the Bay or Aretha’s voice with any song, or do you think Dexys achieved their aim?
