A Black Man's Soul is an instrumental album by musician Ike Turner & the Kings of Rhythm. It was released on Pompeii Records in 1969.
A Black Man's Soul contains songs composed by Ike Turner with contributions from fellow St. Louis musician Oliver Sain.The album was recorded during Turner's free time while he was touring with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue.
The album received positive reviews. Bill E. Burk wrote for the Memphis Press-Scimitar (May 23, 1969):
Ike Turner and The Kings of Rhythm show again why they pack the house at Club Paradise each time they come to Memphis. The group really digs out with an uptempo soul, the better selections being "Funky Mule," "Thinking Black," "Black Beauty," which you must wonder whether it is dedicated to Ike's wife, Tina, and Rufus Thomas' all-time soulful favorite, "Philly Dog."
