Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Is Marvin Gaye considered R&B? Of course he'd be considered r&b. He's probably the most popular too. However I'd probably pick Otis Redding. "Otis loooves us" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ripper Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Stevie Wonder and R. Kelly are the best...hands down. And you know why? The old school R&B albums sucked ass to the 100th degree. Don't get me wrong, they had great SINGLES. But every album would be one or two great songs and the rest would be trash. Marvin's greatest hits might rule the world but any single album is one hit and the rest miss. Same for Otis( and to be honest, he is probably my favorite artist of them all when he hangs to the Blues side of the R&B), and Al Green. They all have great material for compilations but they never put out really strong albums in my opinion. Stevie Wonder and R. Kelly both put out great songs and great albums, therefore I would put them ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted October 5, 2002 James Brown had the best band anybody and everybody from Motown with all of the singing groups. Arthera Franklin Marvin Gaye Teddy Pentigrass Barry White John Lee Hooker, but he is more blues Luthor Vandross the O'Jays Levert Miracles Earth Wind Fire Kool & Gang Cameo Gladis Knight & the Pips and so many other I can't remember right now but Marvin Gaye's duets are probably my favorites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 6, 2002 Can't say I follow R&B closely, so I'll be dropping no old school singers here, but I really, really loved D'Angelo's Voodoo. Awesome stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
