When I was going to school, I used to walk to the library every week and read Billboard. I also listened to Top 40 all the time and watched MTV, so I knew what was popular by how often it got played. There was also the Casey Kasem Top 10 show on TV. There was another chart magazine called Cashbox, but it is not in business anymore. 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 | |

Seems the only way to find a comparison is by comparing sections, when you look at her in her totality there's no comparison. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

As far as being a pure vocalist goes, I don't see how anyone other than Marvin is the answer. Aretha was an incomparable figure but for the sake of this topic, Marvin is my answer. | |
