"Soul Vibrations" was written by Richard Evans rather than Ashby, and is the first track on Afro-Harping, 3:22, recorded in February 1968 at Ter Mar in Chicago with Evans's orchestra. Our upload is titled with the album as well.

WhoSampled lists it as sampled by GZA on "Killah Hills 10304" (Liquid Swords, 1995, produced by RZA), Aceyalone on "The Energy" (1998), All Natural on "Cashin' the Checks" (1998), DJ Q-Bert (2006), Mac Miller on "Bird Call" (2013, the drums) and Blood Orange on "You're Not Good Enough" (2013), among others; its count differs from page to page. No chart, video or live history was found.
