Dude. It takes for-FREAKIN'-ever to load many YouTurds in one page. Perhaps this is why no one posted here.

never thought of Bill Withers as a R&B guy. i guess technically (he is black) ... more of a jazz/blues feel to his sound imo.

But these are some from my playlist. Anthony Hamilton, like you mentioned, is freaking dope. Of course, Usher should be here. And I put The Dream, because of my other status about dreams) just kidding, is here because I think he is better than the weeknd. Do y'all think the same?
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cy2E16dSzAU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Oh you didn't mention 112. They are pretty good also.
I saw "the Dream", he was opening for Lionel Richie. I thought he sucks. RKelly though, that dude is special
Really? thats a shocker, he sounds good on his tracks. But man you are right, RKelly is too good. Artist like him come around one in a lifetime. You know who gives Great LIVE performances - John LEgend <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_dTPXcPpllc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I wanna go this this guys' Concert.
I do enjoy a lot of R&B... my personal favorites for artists include: Dru Hill Usher Boyz 2 Men R Kelly Jagged Edge John Legend The Dream Chris Brown Frank Ocean (surprised when I listened to his stuff) Keith Sweat just to name a few. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cP4yAnbtDZE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o3IWTfcks4k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PmN9rZW0HGo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RcP49VPzp7w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yWylsDMvJUI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sGLOE9LVNmc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I just can't get into contemporary R&B. I love me some old Motown, Memphis Soul (Stax type stuff), and 70s funk. That stuff probably goes in a different thread though.

Agreed. I'm a big 112 fan. I liked Jagged Edge's early stuff but towards the end of their run, all of their music started to sound the same.
Here's a few from that havent been mentioned. Lloyd, Jamie Foxx, Aaliyah, old school Nelly (My Place, Dilemma)
