The problem is this.

1. Its become more marketable. So most acts aren't looking to change things up if moneys coming in.

2. Any real, credible artist can't come up in the R&B world, they'd need to rise up through (imo) indie markets.

3. Most people trying this are fraudulent ****s. Even artists I listen to are generally ripping off ideals from the 70's. Even if it had never gone commercial, it wouldn't sound the same as it did in the 70's, so honestly, Cee Lo might be what it sounded like 45 years on.
