speaking of Otis Redding, I'm one of those outliers that thinks he made his best work just before he died - so his posthumous albums Love Man and The Immortal Otis Redding are both under-appreciated gems

Also no one has said Curtis Mayfield for some reason. Basically his entire discography is awesome but I guess start with Roots

Also Robert Cray- Strong Persuader
I wouldn't necessarily call it soul, I guess. More blues/R&B

And Bill Withers

give eddie hazel's solo shit a spin then, OP. game dames and guitar thangs is killer

Nevermind someone said The Impressions, but that's not Mayfields best work imo.
