Biography
George Soulé (pronounced “Soo-lay”) was born in Meridian, Mississippi on November 12, 1945. He became a DJ at the local WOKK radio station as a teenager and recorded his first discs for Carol Rachou’s La Louisianne and Tamm labels in the mid 60s.In 1964 his song Someone was recorded by Sue Thompson and covered by Frank Ifield and Etta James. Shortly thereafter Soulé made his first television appearance on the pop music programme Shindig appearing on the bill with Ray Charles.
He started plugging his songs, often written with his friend Paul Davis, to music publishers in Memphis and Nashville signing a contract around 1966 with the Nashville based Acuff-Rose Music. He moved first to the newly opened Malaco Records in Jackson, Mississippi and in 1969 onto the studios of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Sheffield, Alabama where he worked with producers Rick Hall and Don Davis. Soulé was initially used as a songwriter and with the singer Don Covay he achieved early success with a song Shoes a hit for Brook Benton. He wrote I’ll Be Your Everything a chart success for Percy Sledge.
His most productive writing partnership though was with Terry Woodford. Among their best known songs was How Many Times recorded by Mavis Staples, You Can't Stop A Man In Love by Carl Carlton, Bobby Womack, The Temptations, Wilson Pickett and several well-known rhythm and blues artists.
Nothing certain is known of his life in England other than that he came on the Mayflower being credited to the London contingent as an Edward Winslow manservant or apprentice, along with Elias Story and a little girl Ellen More, who both died in the first winter.
George Soule was mentioned in Bradford’s recollections of the Winslow group: "Mr. Edward Winslow; Elizabeth, his wife; and *2* men servants, called Georg Sowle and Elias Story; also a little girle was put to him, called Ellen, sister of Richard More". He continues: "Mr. Ed. Winslow his wife dyed the first winter; and he is maried with the widow of Mr. White, and hath *2* children living by her marigable besides sundry that are dead. One of his servants dyed, as also the little girle, soone after the ships arrival. But this man Georg Sowle, is still living and hath *8* children".
In 2003, the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum obtained the lease to the complex and has operated there since. The city holds an annual Soulé Live Steam Festival at the complex attracting thousands of people from around the nation.
George Soulé
George Wilberforce Soulé, founder of Soulé Steam Feed Works, was born in Buffalo, New York in 1849. He was a descendant of another George Soule who came to America on the Mayflower. At the age of one, he and his father, Isaac, moved to Wisconsin. When young George was 20 years old, his father died, and he decided to leave the family farm and pursue his own livelihood. Despite having obtained less than one year of formal education, he served as a school teacher for one three-month term before heading south to end up in Morton, Mississippi, in 1875. He had originally missed a ship to Cuba, but stayed at several businesses in Morton and Shubuta, Mississippi, before moving his operations to Meridian in 1879. Businesses operated by Soulé upon entering Meridian included a turpentine company, a lumber company, a cotton gin, and a manufacturer's representative. Before he moved to Meridian, he was involved in a railroad accident in March 1876 in which he lost his left leg and four toes of his right foot.
.. This political soul gem emerged during Nixon's crumbling Watergate era of 70's US politics...George Soulé' was a blue eyed Mississippi soul singer with a message for the US non voter ! .
In 1972 he sang this as a demo for Memphis song writer George Jackson - who had written it for Wilson Pickett - but Fame Records owner Rick Hall liked Soulés version and so recorded it for his own label.
The song reached no 35 in Billboard's R & B chart the following year
