Toronto sound
rdfs:comment
The Toronto sound was a characteristic R&B sound in the 1960s, heavily influenced by US American R&B. Musically, its components typically consisted of heavy electric bass, New Orleans-style drumming, a dominant Hammond organ, and soul singing. Bands typically presented full shows complete with choreography like that of James Brown & the Famous Flames, and a matching wardrobe (cf. Mandala). Popular tunes were arranged by Toronto musicians, devotees of the Stax and Motown labels, and customized according to the will of the given bandleader. This sound came to influence many performers.

The Toronto sound was a characteristic R&B sound in the 1960s, heavily influenced by US American R&B. Musically, its components typically consisted of heavy electric bass, New Orleans-style drumming, a dominant Hammond organ, and soul singing. Bands typically presented full shows complete with choreography like that of James Brown & the Famous Flames, and a matching wardrobe (cf. Mandala). Popular tunes were arranged by Toronto musicians, devotees of the Stax and Motown labels, and customized according to the will of the given bandleader. This sound came to influence many performers. Musicians typically played in two areas of Toronto, Ontario. The first was Yorkville, then a centre for entertainment - initially coffeehouses and folk music but later becoming more "electrified." The second area was Yonge Street between King St. and Bloor which was more rock and roll, blues oriented.
