Blue-eyed soul is a term coined in the United States to describe soul music or music inspired by soul (such as R&B) by white artists. The term was first used in the mid-1960s, when formations such as the Righteous Brothers achieved success with soul-like tracks. Other blue-eyed soul artists of the time included Chris Farlowe, The Ferris Wheel and Wayne Fontana.

One of the most famous blue-eyed soul interpreters is Dusty Springfield, who has been called the "White Queen of Soul". The successful British band Simply Red has also belonged to 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".
