The Greatest Rock and Soul Band in the World? The Rolling Stones, genre and race
The Rolling Stones played a core role in establishing the generic conventions of rock. A key ideological element of this was the band's reverential dedication to the blues and the importance of the blues to their musical development. However, what is much less recognised is the influence of soul on the band's sound. By looking at the band's repertoire, composition and performing style, this paper explores the influence that soul, particularly Southern soul, had on the band's formative years and argues that, in many ways, they have adopted the aesthetic conventions of soul, rather than rock, for the majority of their career. Rethinking The Stones’ style in this way may help us better understand their position in the rock canon, while also encouraging careful interrogation of the racialised division of rock and soul that emerged in the late 1960s.

CONTRIBUTORS
Patricia A. Duff is a professor of language and literacy education at the University of British Columbia and the director of the Centre for Research in Chinese Language and Literacy Education. Using a variety of behavioral methods, ranging from off-line questionnaires to eye-tracking methods during reading and spoken language comprehension, she examines the way that second language readers and listeners negotiate the presence of two languages in a single mind. In addition to numerous book chapters and articles in journals such as Modern Language Journal, Language Learning, Language Testing, and Foreign Language Annals, she recently published three edited books including Teaching Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Heritage Language Students: Curriculum Needs, Materials, and Assessment (with J. D. Brown, LEA/Taylor & Francis, 2008).
