November 2 is All Souls Day - a day set aside to honor the dead, primarily celebrated in the Catholic Church.

Catholics believe that the souls of the dead can go to heaven, hell, or be held in a state of purgatory. They believe through the prayers of the faithful on Earth, the dead are cleansed of their sins so they may enter into heaven.

Let's take a creative approach to this.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what soul songs do you want to hear?
