Music Historian
Music history, sometimes called historical musicology, is a highly diverse subfield of the broader discipline of musicology that studies music from a historical point of view. In theory, "music history" could refer to the study of the history of any type or genre of music (e.g., the history of Music of India, Indian music or the history of Rock music, rock). In practice, these research topics are often categorized as part of ethnomusicology or cultural studies, whether or not they are ethnography, ethnographically based. The terms "music history" and "historical musicology" usually refer to the history of the notated music of Western elites, sometimes called "art music" (by analogy to art history, which tends to focus on elite art). The methods of music history include source studies (esp. manuscript studies), paleography, philology (especially textual criticism), style criticism, historiography (the choice of historical method), musical analysis, and iconography.

Soul Music
Soul music is a popular music genre that originated in the African American community throughout the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It has its roots in African-American gospel music and rhythm and blues. Soul music became popular for dancing and listening, where U.S. record labels such as Motown, Atlantic and Stax were influential during the Civil Rights Movement. Soul also became popular around the world, directly influencing rock music and the music of Africa. It also had a resurgence with artists like Erykah Badu under the genre neo-soul. Catchy rhythms, stressed by handclaps and extemporaneous body moves, are an important feature of soul music. Other characteristics are a call and response between the lead vocalist and the chorus and an especially tense vocal sound. The style also occasionally uses improvisational additions, twirls, and auxiliary sounds. Soul music reflects the African-American identity, and it stresses the importance of an African-Ameri ...

Real Groove (magazine)
''Real Groove'' was a New Zealand monthly music and pop culture magazine that operated from 1993 to 2010. History Based in Auckland, ''Real Groove'' began in 1993 as a free newsletter distributed through Real Groovy Records. It became a newsstand title in the late 1990s and was subsequently owned by Tangible Media.

Among local media, its demise coincided with that of ''Pulp'' magazine, MTV's withdrawal from New Zealand, and Back2Basics merging with ''Rip It Up''. ''Real Groove'' was amalgamated into ''The Groove Guide'', a free weekly magazine owned by Tangible Media. That title was similarl ...
