Senior Soul is a 1972 studio album by the American singer Billy Eckstine. The album was Eckstine's third for Stax Records's subsidiary Enterprise.
In an Allmusic review of a combined reissue of the album with If She Walked into My Life, John Bush wrote that the album "...combines the sweet Southern tilt to Memphis soul listeners expect from Stax with one of the leading proto-soul stars. Though Eckstine's rich vibrato tones were both out of fashion and much more difficult to accomplish as he neared 60, there are several solid tracks here..." Bush also praised Eckstine's "wonderfully smooth sensibilities." Eckstine's biographer, Cary Ginell, described his versions of "I Believe in Music" and "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" as making Eckstine "...seem even more out of place than before".
