Imagination was probably one of the biggest of that era.
Beggar and Company/Light of the World Hi Tension Level 42 (yes, I'm gonna count the New Wave acts too  )
Linx Junior Sade Heatwave A Certain Ratio Lisa Stansfield Scritti Politti Central Line Soul II Soul Style Council The Real Thing Musical Youth (yeah, I know they were Reggae/Pop, but they had some R&B jams too) NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Were Curiosity Killed The Cat R&B? They ddi lots of old R&B covers and De La Soul sampled them. | |

Soul II Soul are the fist band to look at if your looking for British R'n'B.

It's pretty damn hard looking for black soul music in the 80s from the UK!! "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Add the group 52nd Street to that list. One of their videos right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpX4I6r-Ok "Say I'm lookin' at you, from the corner of my eye..."  | |
