1.) Bobby "Blue" Bland 2.) Koko Taylor"Queen Bee" 3.) Irma ThomasI dig her cover of Ann Pebbles "I Needed Somebody". I heard True Believer the other day on AM radio. 4.) Bettye LaVettesomeone that gets overlooked 5.) Tyrone Davis 6.) Johnnie Taylor"JT" "tha Wailer" 7.) Shemekia CopelandI'm not hip to her. 8.) ZZ Hill Uplifted the blues 9.) Marvin Sease 10.) Little Milton I dig everyone on your list, except Shemekia Copeland. Only because I just don't know anything about her. She has to be pretty good if you list her amongst these greats. I'll have to check her out, or you can tell me something good.    National Funk League✮✮ | |

I'll have to check her out, or you can tell me something good. Shemekia Copeland is a young soul/blues artist. She has been around for at least 3 years now I believe. She is 27 years old. She had made 3 albums for Alligator Records and is working on her 4th one. Yes , she is very good.  | |

Possibly a slightly confusing thread title judging by the various responses - Do we mean Soul-Blues 'fusion' artists, or soul and blues artists separately?
A few favourates either way - Soul/Funk Blues Albert King - Who needs 100 trills when one lick'll do? 
Johnny Guitar Watson - A real mutha for ya'. Freddie King Booker T and the MGs Blues - Otherwise known imo as 'Old Funk'  
John Lee Hooker - So deep he burrowed all the way to Mali
Muddy Waters - To whom the Rolling Stones probably owe their career ... Howlin Wolf/ Hubert Sumlin - Nobody gets in Wolf's way! Well, except imo maybe Muddy and John Lee 
Son House - Who's the Daddy? Anybody says Charlie Patton ...
Skip James - Unique - as each blues stylist should be Blind Willie Johnson - Blues and the Bible united at last - 'The Soul of a Man'.
Ali Farka Toure - Honorary mention for the man lazily termed the 'Malian John Lee Hooker' - A former mayor of the appropriately named Malian town of Neofunke Ali was waiting for John Lee at the other end of the blues tunnel. Damn shame John and Ali never recorded together imo. Together, they just go to show that a few centuries and the deep blue sea were no obstacle for their at times eerily similar droning primal blues.
From Hooker to Toure - The circle is closed. I must be feeling 'deep' tonight.  [Edited 10/12/07 15:30pm] | |

As for Lady Etta, she's the founding mother of the female artists on my list and the premier soul female acts that have come since her. But Etta could sing anything under any genre and she'll still be the greatest. | |
