Now playing some sweet Soul, R&B and Funk

Still coming with the sweet sounding melodies, 17 years later.

Got to pay respects to those that shaped the modern R&B sound. One of the most talented singers, songwriters and musicians of all time. Jamie Foxx once joked at the Grammy’s, Stevie has more talent in his braids than most artists today lol. There are loads of talented artists today but it still made me chuckle.

MJ on the background vocals here.

Just a reminder there are a bunch of Numero Group releases on Tidal. Do a search for Eccentric Soul. Quality varies depending on the collection but a lot of lesser known gems.

If there are any soulful house fans out there, I’ve been a huge fan of Iain Willis’ Buttnaked Soulful House Sessions podcasts for years

Outside of music, a highly controversial figure.

But keeping to music, a pioneer of the modern R&B sound. Sublime melodies.
He produced the entire album himself and played most of the instruments.

A soulful classic.

Calypso is very soulful. This album was recorded in 1959. Are you kidding me. Sounds incredible.

Everybody agrees that the best thing about this cover is the “electronically processed” and “STEREO” at the top right? :yum:
