Sophisticated Soul is the eighth album issued by Motown girl-group the Marvelettes.

Like many Motown albums produced in the late 1960s, Sophisticated Soul featured backing from the Andantes, Motown's premier backing group, on certain tracks, others feature Bogan and Katherine Anderson.

Since Holland-Dozier-Holland had left the Motown label in 1967, the studio artists had turned to in-house producers such as the team of Ashford & Simpson as well as Frank Wilson.

Also on the record is "I'm Gonna Hold On as Long as I Can", which was a modest hit featuring Bogan on lead vocals, and "What's Easy for Two Is So Hard for One", the B-side to "Destination: Anywhere", which charted but proved to be unsuccessful.
