Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Otis Redding or Sam Cooke

Aretha Franklin or Tammi Terrell

Barry White or Issac Hayes

Rick James or Grandmaster Flash[/color]


I think it's unfair to pit Tammi against Aretha. If Tammi hadn't died so young, I think she would have become one of the 70s biggest soul singers, but she never got the chance. I really really like her voice and material, but of course I'm forced to choose Aretha simply because of what she is. It's probably easier to compare Tammi with Mary Wells or Kim Weston, Motown singers who never got their just due. She was like Diana Ross, only not annoying. Those Marvin-Tammi duets still have the best duet chemistry of all time IMHO.

These are all kind of hard becuase I just know and have more CDs by some artists than others. If I had more experience with all the artists, this might be a different list.

Al
Earth
Otis
Smokey for songwriting/James as a preformer, singer
Luther
Spinners
Tammi
Issac
Tower
Rick James, bitch!

Hmmm...a few of them are really tough. I guess I'm basing my choices on the music that I tend to play or have played more often.

Al Green
Earth Wind & Fire
Otis Redding
James Brown (even though I love Smokey I gotta give the overall edge to him)
Luther Vandross
The Stylistics
Aretha Franklin
Barry White
Tower of Power
Rick James

It would be great fun to have a rock version of this thead, or even generational or by decade one artist/group versus another from a different decade i.e. Jackson 5 vs. New Edition or Barbra Steisand vs. Celine Dion
