I know I'm gonna get a lot of heat for this, but I couldn't give a damn - Soul Sessions by Joss Stone. Before that, I'd say Affection by Lisa Stansfield. Somebody mentioned Jon B. I've just never been much of a fan of his, though he's done really well on urban radio.

I still think Lisa Stansfield's "Affection" is one of the most underrated albums of the 80s.

I thought a lot of La Dona was pretty much a mess. She's in great vocal form (has she aged at all???), but it sounds as if they produced it on the cheap, and you DON'T try to upstage Teena Marie with fucking rappers, ok? You just don't. disbelief

Some brainy execuitive must have decided, "I know what Teena Marie needs - street cred!" rolleyes

I totally agree. I have been desperate for some good new music for years now. I heard Teena's new single, "I'm Still In Love" on the radio and thought it was decent. I seriously considered buying this album so I went to the Tower Records web site and listened to samples of every track. I was TOTALLY disgusted. On the sample of "I'm Still In Love", there is even rappers on that track. Now, I'm thinking about just recording the song off of the radio and burning it on CD.

I'm still having a hard time trying to pick my choice of LAST great R&Bish album by a white artist. I would have to say it would probably be some kind of house music album. This is a very hard choice. I guess my vote would go to Cher and "Believe".
