I am sad no one mentioned Motown and the R&B from the late 60s and 70s. That’s the music I grew up with and I still love it today. Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrell, Wilson Pickett, Edwin Starr, Smokey Robinson, Martha and the Vandellas, Otis Redding, the Queen of Soul--Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green and Bill Withers. And so many more. These people could sing without all the fancy equipment and enhancement used by today’s recording artists. The talent was staggering.
I took my kids to see the Temptations and the Four Tops and they grew up listening to what I think is the best era for popular music.
And no one has even come close to Aretha in vocals.
