modern take on soul

like donnel jones

[Super Pancake]

Bell Biv DeVoe, Boys to Men, Aliyah, Faith Evans, Alisha Keys, SWV, All 4 One, are a list of my taste in RnB and soul music.

my favorite is Alicia Keys and Faith is my favorite among the females

male artist I would say Bell Biv DeVoe keep it real, Prince (some of his songs) and the man Marvin Gaye. "Lets get it on"

[The Roswell Man]

i like 'i heard it thru the grapevine'

quality trac

[Super Pancake]

Yeah that track is just coooool, I wish Marvin Gaye was alive and well still doing his thing!

[The Roswell Man]

[Super Pancake]

Amerie is alright the only song I liked was her first single "Why don't we fall in love."

Sad day yesterday for R&B Luther Vandross passed away... yesterday was a sad day.

I did not really hear a lot of his songs but I hear he was good and influenced a lot of todays R&B.

OMG are you serious. That dance with my father song is the greatest ever. I am so upset. He was truly talented.

RnB?

Now correct me if I am wrong but didn't that used to mean Rhythm and Blues?

The RnB of today bears little in relation and 'Rubbish and b******s' would be a more appropriate way to describe it.

To liken the likes of Soul greats such as Luther Vandross to 'RnB' is an insult to the man. His music wasn't my cup of tea, but I could see it's appeal.

The RnB of today is quite simply the worst brand of music to have appeared in the 33 years of my life (in my opinion), and cannot be even mentioned in the same breath as the RnB in it's true sense, and certainly has no right to be described as the same brand of music as that performed by Vandross and Marvin Gaye.
