Blue-Eyed Soul is a term coined in the USA for soul music or music based on soul (e.g. R&B ) by white artists. The name was first used in the mid-1960s, when formations like the Righteous Brothers landed success with soul-like titles. Other blue-eyed soul artists of this time included Chris Farlowe , The Ferris Wheel and Wayne Fontana .

One of the most famous blue-eyed soul interpreters is Dusty Springfield , who was called the "White Queen of Soul". The successful British band Simply Red has also been part of this style of soul since the mid-1980s. In 2003 the white soul singer Joss Stone attracted attention. She celebrated great success with her album "The Soul Sessions".
