"Soul Pride" is an instrumental written by James Brown and Pee Wee Ellis and recorded by James Brown with his band. Released as a two-part single in March of 1969, it charted #33 R&B and #117 Pop. A stereo version of the track later appeared on The Popcorn album in August of 1969.
The song was first recorded during a session at Vox Studios on August 7, 1968 but this would go unreleased and what would become the single was recorded after a concert in Dallas at the empty Dallas Memorial Auditorium on the 26th. The live performance that preceded this recording was released on the album Say It Live and Loud: Live in Dallas 08.26.68 in 1998 and featured a previously unheard performance of the song during the show.
