    Far, far, far too many to list. But my personal favorites are:

    Betty Wright and Johnnie Taylor

    St. Paul and the Broken Bones opened for Hall and Oates when they played in Sugar Land last year. They are even better live.

    Umm, not just he's popular but he was great. Of course one needn't be a fan of everyone but still gotta acknowledge greatness

    Glad you mentioned those two. HUGE fan of The Philosopher of Soul.

    No one mentioned The Temptations and David Ruffin yet?

    The perpetually underrated O'Jays?

    Eddie Levert? Gerald Levert?

    After 7?

    Raphael Sadiq and Tony! Toni! Tone!

    Nowadays of course Leon Bridges as has been mentioned. Maxwell is still holding it down. Some love D'Angelo.

    I'm really digging Michael Kiwanuka. He's one of the new youngins holding it down for the genre

    I did on the Temps and had Gerald Levert in an early rough draft of my brilliant Don Sam tribute a page back with the Friday throw down show down post; those Friday shows would always come down to a few votes and he'd had some sweet older lady get the final pick. I consider it an on air education I could never repay.

    Blue-eyed soul is for reals.

    Jay-Z and Timbaland elevated Justin to dark blue.
