I can't even imagine that her voice is better than they captured on that disc. Her voice is so powerful and rich and beautiful. It makes me crazy!

I forgot to add this brotha to the list...



He was one of the original members of Blackstreet and sang lead on their Micahel Jackson-penned song, "Joy." He is also the high tenor singing backgrounds on "Before I Let You Go." Seriously underrated!!! clapping clapping clapping clapping

So you think one of the best selling British female artists of all time is under-rated?


Wow, I didn't know about her UK stats. Glad to hear that. I guess I'm speaking about her being underrated from a US perspective ("Gotta Be" was her only big hit here).

I like a lot of these posts thus far, and I want to add a few:

Fleming & John (a great pop outfit that hasn't recorded in years)

Ledisi

Shuggie Otis (I know a lot of folks jock him and this pick is almost passe, but who knew him a few years ago?)

Micatone

Swing Out Sister (I said it.)

Now for a few jazz artists, since apparently outside of Norah Jones (who wasn't ever really a jazz artist), jazz doesn't sell very well:

Art Blakey
Horace Silver
The Great Jazz Trio
Gary Burton

As for hip-hop, Janfan4L covered a lot of bases, but I'd like t add a few:

Common (Sense)
Downtown Science
Tha Alkaholiks
Camp Lo
Redman (was Ludacris before Ludacris)
Gang Starr
Natural Elements (released a single but I dunno what happened to the LP)

-to add,what's wrong with long-winded people?I'm long winded but its all for a purpose.
-You guys added some great artists..bravo!

[This message was edited Fri Mar 5 21:59:47 2004 by twink69]

outside of prince based websites, find me some people who can name any of his recent work. find me some people who think he's more than a wierd gay guy who wore assless pants to the mtv awards and made a movie/soundtrack called 'purple rain'. his career spans how many years and how many records has he made? and for what albums does he have a grammy? how many of records sell these days? um, yeah, i'd reckon he's underrated.


That's true, but that's the price for EMANCIPATION
