More than just sound

... Soul Music.

... it is still common to believe that styles of music, and individual works of music, have—or can have—a moral character, and that the character of a work or style of music can “rub off” in some way on its devotees. It makes perfectly good sense, and is often profoundly illuminating, to describe individual works, and also styles and idioms, in terms of the virtues and vices of people.

I think it worth noting that, thanks to the internet and YouTube this article is illustrated in a way no merely printed article could be.
