What?

Re: Fans of R&B/Soul Music

Lol, sorry. I think Ashanti is one of the least talented females in the industry right now. She sings like crap, has no charisma and I just don't get her appeal.

Re: Fans of R&B/Soul Music

Oh, I'm right with you. I never got her hype ever, but her latest album isn't that bad at all actually. A lot of that has more to do with production but it's definitely a solid album.

I dunno where to put this but you gotta listen to this. Otis Redding doing funk!

Any Groove Theory/Amel Larrieux fans? Groove Theory's album was really good. I almost got a chance to see and meet Larrieux live at a listening party in Detroit, around 99' or so. Had to turn it down at the last minute. I really like her as an artist.

Amel Larrieux - Get Up

Goapele really reminds me of Larrieux. Whenever I think of one, I think of the other.

Also one more dude who's style I like is Raul Midon. I love the way he plays guitar and his State of Mind album was nice. Dude is crazy talented.

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

I like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, Wilson Pickett, and Booker T. and the MG's to name a few.

I don't listen to modern R&B other than Ginuwine and Alicia Keys.

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

Syl Johnson is the man. Hah, you can actually just go to http://www.the-breaks.com and look up RZA... almost everything he samples is gold.

I love Ann Peebles also. Great voice. And Donny Hathaway is my favorite all-time in terms of R&B/Soul -- the live album is the greatest.

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

How is everybody liking the new Al Green album? I have that and Erykah Badu's new album coming with my preorder of Batman: Gotham Knight next week.

[Flyboy]

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

I've had it for about a month or so, just haven't listened to it yet.

[Stumbleweed]

Re: Fans of R&amp;B/Soul Music

Al Green's voice is still amazing and it's a really solid album. I thought he had lost a bit of his voice due to a TV appearance I saw, but it sounds perfect in the studio.

Probably because in the studio you can wipe out bad takes and overdub things. What's the album called? I'd like to get my hands on it.
