In honor of Black History Month, we celebrate the amazing contributions African-American artists have made to 20th-century music with a quintessential dual-CD compilation showcasing the very best R&B and Soul. Focusing on the late 1950s, '60s and early '70s, it features 40 music legends including Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Marvin Gaye, plus a special bonus track by contemporary soul icon Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, recorded exclusively for Nordstrom.

It's a one-stop primer on the best black artists of our time-and to many, the very soundtrack to our lives. The perfect gift for yourself or friends and family, you'll find it in our stores and online at Nordstrom.com beginning February 1.
