I would've bet my life on Aretha being #1.
and the Funk`s played "Believe It If You Like"
Levi Stubbs had better be on that list!
Nat King Cole was not an R&B Singer.
Beyonce? I think not.
My exact thought when I saw him on the list.Quote:

Or Dionne Warwick. Or Mariah Carey. Or really, Beyonce. And did Michael Jackson have any soul records as a solo artist? They left a lot of good names off that list to list several great pop singers. I scanned the list, saw who was on it and didn't even read the bios.Quote:
