"Soul Kind of Feeling" was a single released in August 1984 by Australian soul music group Dynamic Hepnotics from their album Take You Higher. It was their highest charting hit, which appeared on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart in October 1984 and peaked at No. 5.[2] It charted higher in neighbourly country New Zealand, spending eight weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 3 on June 30, 1985.
