I was thinking today about all the great Soul male vocalists from the 50s- 80s I grew up listening to. Here are a few of my favorites I want to remember here. In no special order:

Summer 1971 and vacation time is what this one reminds me of.

Here's my absolute favorite Jerry Butler song.

**lockhartgary** · 11-11-2019, 11:25 AM

Here's another favorite of mine. Should have been a monster hit. I actually prefer this one over Cowboys to Girls.

**marv2** · 11-11-2019, 06:13 PM

One of the best and most underrated. Former member of the Dramatics, Wee Gee Howard!
