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

"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway

'Whenever, Wherever" - Minnie Riperton (the great Ramsey Lewis)

"Come To My Garden" - Minnie Riperton (the great Ramsey Lewis)

pretty much anything from Ramsey Lewis' prestigous catalog...especially the during his Chess/Cadet years with Maurice White & Charles Stepney (1965-1970) then again with Maurice White & EW&F in hte mid-late 70s

Ramsey Lewis' "The Piano Player" lp is my alltime favorite piano jazz lp... that album {produced and played by Lewis, M. White & Stepney} birthed some of the orchestration, chord changes, and turnarounds that would become staples of the Earth Wind & Fire sound from 1973-1976 when Charles Stepney co-produced all those EW&F, The Emotions, and Deniece Williams joints

I like 3 or 4 songs by Alicia. I don't like D'Angelo at all and only one song by John Legend, the one with André 3000. I have the Lauryn Hill album and the duet on there is the only song with D'Angelo on it I've listened to on purpose, and I'm not all that fond of it. I never really got into neo-soul in general. I thought it was buppie music. lol

Not too big on neo soul either though I like a handful of songs. I consider Alicia Keys to be r&b/pop though and she happens to be on piano

^^ aw no neo soul. I was noticing Sa Roc has some piano in some of her songs but she's mostly rap, I think she's awesome should be better know but she doesn't stuff herself with silicon so... she has a really good voice, beautiful lady.

I was just listening to some interviews on the radio about how Nashville is now becoming the new place for black artist. Thought of you and your country thread.

It mostly all sounds like the same song to me just like reggaeton songs do. All the same low key tempo. Even Johnny Mathis & Celine Dion had some uptempo dance songs. I remember all of these anonymous singers that I didn't know the difference in them, even their voices sounded alike like Musiq Soulchild, Avant, Joe, Carl Thomas, Tank, etc. When those songs came on the radio, I thought they were all by the same guy. lol Probably one of the only singers I could pick out was Anthony Hamilton and I didn't really like his voice or his songs. In the past, the R&B singers had different voices. I could tell Teddy Pendergrass from Smokey Robinson or Jeffrey Osbourne or James Ingram or Barry White.
