Do you agree with New Jack Swing ruined soul music?

Is the soul we have today not good? I think it is.

A quadruple post? That's a capital offense.

I'd put them all in one post but the way this forum formats **** drives me insane.

I wish I could just list 4 youtube links in one post without it bringing in the video image.

Wish granted.

Almost every decades, Black Music changed name: Rhythm'n'Blues in the late 50s, Soul in the 60s, Funk in the 70s, Disco-Funk in the late 70s and early 80s, Hip Hop in the mid 80s, then New Jack Swing in the late 80s before it turns to New Soul and R'n'B in the late 90s.
The old sounds from the 50's up the early 80's are vintage and they are still very appreciated because it was played by real musicians instead of machines. Still there were artists who knew how to use the machines like Marving Gaye with Sexual Healing or Prince with When Doves Cry.
I rather consider that it is the growing popularity of Black music that drove the buisness to make more fast money with it and it is then that all the producers were using machines instead of musicians, and formated their songs. That is then and why most of Black Music lost Soul.

It was the golden age, I feel like I'm in heaven whenever I listen to rhythm and blues/soul from that period you mentioned
