Background notes

Archive material and source history

A Tortured Soul came together in New York City in the early 1990s, with Joe Claussell handling vocals and songwriting. Their sound worked within house music, leaning on soulful vocals and melodic textures. The group included John Morales on production and DJ duties, Anthony Acid on keyboards, and Nick Tamburro on bass and occasional harmonies.

Their 2006 album "13" gave them some mainstream attention, with the title track reaching the top of the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. They followed it with "Are We Still in Love" in 2008, which led to a plagiarism lawsuit over a melody in the title track; the band settled out of court. Later albums like "Perspectives" and "Soul Journey" kept them active, with the latter featuring collaborations with Kenny Dope and David Morales.

Songs like "Altar Of Sangria," "Another Lover," and "Ashes to Ashes" show their range within house and soul-inflected dance music. They've maintained a presence without becoming a dominant commercial force, sticking to their blend of rhythmic drive and vocal warmth.
