More her own personal style than genre, I think there's the argument A LOT of her stuff (or stuff with the Eurythmics) would qualify: "Would I Lie To You?" is darned near on par with Aretha's "Respect," IMO. Also, consider "Step By Step" (which Whitney later covered), "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" with Al Green, "Sing," just about anything from Diva, many of her Medusa covers, and so on. Girl is bad! Big Annie fan but I've never considered her even remotely a SOUL singer. Interesing perspective. | |

Big Annie fan but I've never considered her even remotely a SOUL singer. Interesing perspective. I like Annie Lennox. However, comma, Lamm, your statement about that fine 80's throwback jam, "Would I Lie to You" rivaling "Respect" -- THE definitive Soulstress song -- just can't go there, brother.

I knew I'd catch it for that.
I remain firm, however.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Also, consider "Step By Step" (which Whitney later covered), "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" with Al Green, "Sing," just about anything from Diva, many of her Medusa covers, and so on... not to mention her live performances. Girl is bad! [Edited 4/23/08 10:10am]   Don't forget her duet with Aretha "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves." She held her own with the Queen. And I agree, I think it's more in her delivery than any particular genre she's singing in. Her vocals on Sweet Dreams alone is soulful. But what she did to Missionary Man awwwww shit, that was soulful AND funky. That's my favorite song by her.
You can fool with ya brutha, but don't mess with a missionary man! 
Besides, did Dusty Springfield or Christina Aguilera sing soul music? [Edited 4/23/08 17:38pm] | |

I concur with the mentions for Annie. | |

Teena Marie. She not only can sang, but she writes, produces, and play a variety of instruments. | |

OK... I just heard "Would I Lie to You" on the radio. While that is still my jam, I have to admit I was a bit too excited earlier in placing it on par with Aretha's "Respect."  I repent.Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

One of the greatest soul singers, according to Aretha Franklin...
