I'd love to hear John Legend record in a more 'straight' style. For example, more material like 'Ordinary People' and the excellent 'Please Baby Don't' on the Sergio Mendes 'Timeless' album. He's got a wonderful voice with great tones and I don't think the 'Roots' rhythm stuff makes the best of it.......but that's just my opinion!

Of newer artistes. I love Rumer - not soul, but very soulful.
