Frankenstein and Free Ride are nice tunes by the Edgar Winter Group. They are NOT soul, never were, never intended to be. Fly Like an Eagle is a rock song. Moonlight Feels Right is soft U.S. pop -- period.
AWB? Yes, it's soul. Thank you. Bob Seger may be from Detroit, he's not soul. He's a rocker.
I love Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds -- they're not soul, however. Soft U.S. pop -- there's a difference. You may have good memories of "Baby Come Back" [[I don't), but it's soft, very soft, American, WHITE pop. The furthest thing from soul ... same with Ambrosia, though they're OK, but they're not soul. The Joker? Really, is this a joke? It's not soul, not even close and Steve Miller will be the first to admit it.
I like the band Chicago, they're brass, not soul, however, and have never claimed to be.
The Doobie Brothers? No ... freaking ... way .. are they soul, but I like them.
You got Robert Palmer and Bobby Caldwell right, but a lot of this, I'm sorry, is just a reach to find some blue-eyed artists. Sorry to be the cynic here, but when Steve Miller and Aerosmith are listed, I had to throw some reality into this thread.
