Soul Time is a 1960 album by jazz pianist Bobby Timmons featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Sam Jones on bass, and Art Blakey on drums.
After This Here Is Bobby Timmons, this was the second album recorded under Timmons' leadership. He handpicked a cast of jazz musicians to complement his gospel style of jazz. This album contains four songs written by Timmons ("Soul Time", "So Tired", "Stella B." (named for his wife), and "One Mo'"). "The Touch of Your Lips" was written by Ray Noble, "S'posin" was written by Andy Razaf and Paul Denniker, and "You Don't Know What Love Is" was written by Don Raye and Gene de Paul.

Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote:
Pianist Bobby Timmons, best known for his sanctified and funky playing and composing, is mostly heard in a straightahead vein on this CD reissue of a Riverside session. Timmons's four originals ("So Tired" is most memorable) alternate with three standards and are interpreted by a quartet with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Blakey. The swinging music is well-played, making this a good example of Bobby Timmons playing in a boppish (as opposed to funky) setting.[2]
Releases
The album was re-released on CD, by Hallmark Records in 2013[3] and on 180 gram vinyl by Jazz Workshop.[4]
