In the 1960s and 70s, many R&B artistes, particularly from the Southern states of the US used to remake Country songs with elements of Soul.
There even developed a whole genre called Country-Soul whose proponents included African-American stars like Ray Charles, Percy Sledge and even Millie Jackson, who in her prime recorded an entire Country album.
