Looking for songs with growling vocals.

i.e. Whitney Huston in "So Emotional" or Sevie Wonder "As" and "Living for the City" male or female. Another good example is Charlie Wilson in the Gap Band in the song "Burn Rubber". There were a few New Jack Swing artists who implemented it as well, althought I can't remember.

I was thinking more along the lines of Charlie Wilson. Like the song "Open Up Your Mind (Wide)" off of Gap Band I. https://www.youtube.com/w...TWrn8mgt40 @ 1:37, 1:52, 2:02, and the big one at 5:34. Less gravaly and more meaty, monster type yell/growl. Preferably from '79 on.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
