Question - I really like R&B and Motown... but that is not "soul" per se, right? Not sure if there is a meaningful distinction (I think there is though). For example, I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Stevie Wonder (probably my favorite modern recording artist) but wouldn't consider him soul music at all.

For newer artists, I never thought of D'Angelo, Angie Stone, Maxwell, Jill Scott etc. as soul, but as R&B.

All,

Not a classic soul genre performer, but a voice I just love, Richie Havens. Here's something he did a few years ago w/ electronic music band Groove Armada - I just love this and it's definitely a very soulful groove - Hands of Time

earth wind and fire anyone?

[Chump Change]

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
somebody keeps telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming


But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhh

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

If you like teh older stuff, check out Etta James, and I agree with El D, only women should sing Fever.

Etta James was more Blues than soul and the best version of Fever is the original by Little Willie John.

Check out Little Willie John on "I Need Your Love So Bad", "All Around The World", and "I'm Shakin".
