Clearly you are confusing "Soul Music" with singing with soul. No problem. How about Linda wailing with Chuck berry on his 60th Birthday. And check the goddamn sidemen. Check out Linda Ronstadt singing a Smoky Robinson tune with Smokie on the MOTOWN Anniversary show.
If you saw my iTunes, you probably wouldn't have posted that. Yes, rap is a genre that I listen to....especially the older (good stuff).
They havent had anyone with soul on bet well...maybe since bet came to be. All a bunch of hip hop garbage and black folk that really dont care too much for us honkies. Most of the music today has no soul, no heart, no meaning. Just garbage and America is eating that shit up.
I once heard the Andrews sisters version of "Gimme Shelter"....now that was soulful. And Red, neither you nor I should respond with a Pat Boone cover of "Stairway to Heaven."
