The silky soul of Marvin Vs the funky soul of JB.

Re: Battle of the Solo Artist - Marvin Gaye Vs James Brown

This is like City being drawn out of the bag for the third round of the FA Cup against a volleyball team; both sports but very different.

To be honest I don't listen to anything like Marvin Gaye. Too soft, too predictable (he's either in love or had his geart broken), too slow.

James Brown - whilst I still own nothing of his music - is more about the music, his voice is part of the music, rather than it being about his singing. Funk is, well, funky. There's definitely something there I like.

James Brown wins for me.

Marvin's "what's Goin on" is probably the greatest soul album of all time. Deep social messages still relevant today wrapped up in dense, multi layered honey dripping soul. A beautiful piece of work.
