While working on this week's cover story about Soul Singer Aretha Franklin, the members of TIME'S music staff were impressed by the fact that "soul" can be found-or its absence noted-in individuals far removed from the world of music. Cover Writer Chris Porterfield, Senior Editor Jesse Birnbaum, Reporter Virginia Page and Researchers Molly Bowditch and Rosemarie Tauris Zadikov concocted their own soulful list along with a matching roster from Straight City.

Alan Armor of CBS's new western, Lancer, has edited out one shooting and one ambush from his premiere show, and the producers of Gunsmoke, Get Smart and The Name of the Game have ordered...
...land he farms. His daughter Josie is "misbegotten" because she weighs 180 Ibs., stands 5 ft. 11 in., and is, in her own eyes, "a big, rough, ugly cow of a woman." A virgin who shams wantonness, Josie is wildly in love with Landlord Jim Tyrone Jr., a dead soul embalmed in alcohol. Tyrone is, of course, another portrayal of O'Neill's elder brother who also appears in Long Day's Journey Into Night...
