The music blog soultracks.com recently polled its readers to crown one metropolis "The World's Greatest Soul Music City."

And the blog makes it clear it isn't just the city's history as the birthplace of Motown Records that deserves recognition.
Excerpt:
Yep, Detroit won hands down. It's long history of great soul stars,

the runner up city, Philadelphia, and lots of other great soul towns.
