Don't let the Chappelle show skit fool you, Rick James is legitimately one of the greatest musicians & songwriters in history.

He was a phenomenal musician & is a Legendary performer.

I’d add:

My favorite thing to do coming up was comb through rap album credits and look for the ever present "Contains a sample/interpolation by...". It was a lot harder to track down the originals in the pre Youtube days. These hip hop producers were some true music aficianado's with a deep musical IQ.

Thompkins Jr had another Top 5 type of voice...All Philly guys...

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Please listen to Tamia’s part...man!

My Mother was a Anita Baker Fanatic...

Excellent thread.
This was live in concert in Houston in 1976. Should start at the 40:48 minute mark with the late-great-died-way-too-early Glenn Goins on vocals. Edit: Actually, it starts with George Clinton's no singing *** on vocals, but Glenn Goins comes in after him. BTW, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. made George Clinton an honorary member this past summer. A little Parliament Funkadelic.

I would add Gladys Knight. She gives me goose bumps to this day.

Maaaan I been listening to Tony Toni Tone since the early 90's, but then when Saadiq left the group & formed Lucy Pearl I became a huge fan of his solo work.

He really doesn't get the credit he deserves but he was really one of the main catalyst behind the scenes in developing the Neo-Soul movement in the 90's. He wrote D'Angelo's biggest record of his career, he also wrote for the Roots, Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Bilal & so many others.

His Jimmy Lee album from last year was legit one of the best albums of 2019, it was Grammy worthy.

Bruh, you killing me. “You got me”, “Coming where from Im from”, “Long Walk” and “Soul Sista”… one bad dude.

The first time I heard Meshell Ndegeocello it was her song “If that’s your boyfriend (he wasn’t last night)” … but she never got as big as her talent.

Bruh she on verzuztv right now with Patti LaBelle and it’s classical!
Gladys Knight sounds JUST like her records at 76 years of age...amazing!
