Clairo Records introduces this 3LP compilation album of classic American soul music. Written On the Wall includes soul music from 1958 to 1974.

The first two records, although intense, contrast nicely with the much lighter third record. As well-rounded as it is, Written On The Wall has a piece to offer anyone who admires the art of soul music.
