Servin' Up Some Soul is the eleventh overall album by R&B singer Mary Wells, released in 1968 on the Jubilee record label. Her first and only release with the once-fabled R&B company (a second Jubilee release was aborted for years) yield a modest charter with "The Doctor", Wells' final top 100 hit on the pop charts though Wells would continue to have R&B hits. It was her final album for thirteen years until 1981's In and Out of Love.
