Favorite R&B Artists

[Dave B]

Ok, let's get soulful. Name you favorite R&B artists of all time but, to make it a little tougher, you have a limit of 5. Choose wisely grasshopper.

Here's mine:

1. Aretha Franklin
3. Stevie Wonder
4. The Supremes
5. Marvin Gaye
6. The Temptations

[Sckott]

1. Otis Redding
2. Aretha Franklin
3. Ray Charles
4. Ben E King
5. Marvin Gaye

This list seems to change from week to week, but Otis, for me, is the blueprint of Soul. Just got his 4CD Box. This guy had FIRE even before he hit Atlantic...

1. The Temptations
2. Aretha Franklin
3, Wilson Pickett
4. James Brown
5. Joe Tex

[Grant]

For the next five that didn't make the first list:

6. Sam & Dave
7. Joe Simon
8. Bobby Womack
9. The Impressions
10. Curtis Mayfield

Oh hell! This is as bad as trying to limit your favorite albums to three.:mad:

11. Chaka Khan
12. Johnnie Taylor
