Hey SoulTrackers. Thanks for participating in our poll of the Greatest Soul Music City in the world. You made your voices heard loud and clear and the winning city was… the Motor City, The D, the home of Motown. Yep, Detroit won hands down. It’s long history of great soul stars, including the Motown legends, along with its new generation of soul stars like Dwele, Monica Blaire and Amp Fiddler, gave it the edge over the runner up city, Philadelphia and lots of other great soul towns.
Check out the poll results below listing the top 10 cities in our voting. Thanks for participating. We’re hoping you’ll follow your own local artists, check out shows in your town and do other things to make your town a world class soul music city!
