Favorite soul/ R&B artist?
In spite of my oft-stated ambition to be the first white Pip, in spite of the fact that this thread was inspired by hearing a tune by the Staple Singers earlier today, I have to go with ummmmmmmm errrrrrrrrr uhhhhhhhhhh-- this is impossible, isn't it?

As of this moment, I'll go with Rev. Al Green. Feel free to give your top five, top ten or whatever, 'cause this really is impossible. Whatchasay?

6. Booker T and the MGs
were the Stax House Band---one of the best bands of all time. Steve Cropper, "Duck" Dunn, Al Jackson Jr. and Booker T Jones are the schznitt.

9. Some of them..
Old school guys and gals like Donnie Hathaway/Teddy Pendergrass/Al Green/Stevie Wonder/Sam Cooke /Aretha Franklin

But right now Im listening to Anthony Hamilton he brings back the old school but with some new school flavor.
