Eccentric Soul The Forte Label by Various is an incredible compilation of rare and obscure soul music from the Forte label. The album features 20 tracks, each with its unique sound and story. The music is a mix of funky grooves, soulful ballads, and upbeat dance tracks that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head.
