the cadets, lets rock'n roll , more known for their doo wop output, but could dig out some meaty r&b, as testified here,




little richard, get down with it, brilliant rythym & soul from the self proclaimed king of rock'n roll....



sonny fulton, locked up, a rythym & bluesy jackie wilson sound a like, and does not a bad job....

levon & the hawks, he don't love you, oh ah, gut renching soul, that chorus just kills you, killer tune..



don gardner, my baby likes to boogaloo, power r&b with some fantastic breaks, wow! this is why i love this scene you can't get this feelin' anywhere else...



levon & the hawks, honky tonk, deep down & dirty r&b, bobby bland covered this marie adams tune, doubt if it's as rockin' as this version , and thats say'n something...

the 5 du-tones, shake a tail feather, the original and best version, James Jamerson allegedly plays bass on this bad boy...






parliment, i wanna testify, early recording of the space funk group who started out as a doo wop group, you can here the raw funk in this groovy tune...

Is this pre-Funk Brothers?

no there is some of them on this to..

home is where the hatred is, esther phillips, great cover of gill scott herons tune, a haunting story of herion addiction, as both artists were addicts..

ella fitzgerald, get ready, i also like this version..






rare earth, get ready, yes i like this version..

right now diggin on Betty Davis "They Say I'm Different" reissue on Light In The Attic ... mad funk, killer groove, voice like Jen Herrema in another life ... she's Miles' ex who used to hang with Jimi when her name was Betty Mabry, and the music is worthy of the pedigree

r&b soul,from the 60's&70's...
 

there are many for me,all of motown of course as well as the great chicago artist,the stax artist as well as atlantic records[aretha-wilson pickett-the drifters-archie bell and the drells]..of course i could go back to the days of doowop with...the flamingoes-the platters-the five royales-frankie lymon and the teenagers-lil richard and james brown.
