Classic R&B Soul Greats

[Protein Junkie]

I’m a big fan of Rock/Metal and Prog music so maybe I surprise even myself by having a very soft spot for some Classic R&B/Soul.
Here are my Sweet Top Six in no order.

The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding.
Your Love is taking me higher and The Sweetest Feeling - Jackie Wilson.
Under the Boardwalk and Saturday Night at the Movies - The Drifters.
Just give me a little more time -Chairman of the Board.

any other recommendations out there ?

Has there been a decent RnB tune since 1990?

It became neither R nor B around then.

I think they’ve used most of the best in films or TV commercials.

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay is one of my favourites also. I’m not a massive soul fan, but others I’ve enjoyed:

Tracks of My Tears - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs
Soul Man - Sam and Dave
Heard It Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

Apparently Jill Scott and our much loved Jill Scott got several emails sent to the ‘other’ Jill Scott and struck up a friendship……
