Another soul music legend dies  

Hi Muscles
I love all those that you mentioned but I also like Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and the list goes on.
Yes the Mowtown Era was something that cannot ever be replaced.
The Chilites and the Stylistics, the Drifters, Sly and the Family Stone are another few I can recall..that I can recall anything is a wonder to me heheheheh oxoxox Hugs and thanks for a great discussion Muscles...xoxoxo

I am a baby boomer and my all time favorite singer of that era was and still is Elvis. He sings some fantastic blues. When Ike and Tina Turner were together, they were amazing. In the late '60's I saw them perform in St. Louis. Just an amazing experience. Aretha Franklin was also one of my favorites. One of the real blues singers who I really liked was BB King. Motown and the blues were so popular in the 60's. Those were fun days.

can't beat your list. they were all my favorites.

All those groups were popular when I was in high school and I enjoyed their songs. It was always fun to listen to them and watch their songs hit the top of the charts. The stuff that is played to day, to me, is not interesting and doesn't seem to have much in the way of "music". Every time I see an infomercial for the 60's I have to stop and watch cause there were so many of the songs I still like. I can't even say which one or two I liked cause there were a lot of them.

you just named my favorites, I would add gladys night and the pips, roberta flack,

barbara streisand

Hey muscles4me.
I, too, love all those old Motown singers and groups. They just don't make it like they used to, do they? I also loved Fleetwood Mac and the Beatles. When it comes to music, I could just go on and on and on.

I do get excited when a "new" musician comes out and seems to have quite a bit of talent. It's rare these days, but I think it still happens. I like Alicia Keys and John Legend, although I couldn't name any of their songs. They clearly have talent like that of some of the "older" musicians.

I grew up with them as well...along with Areatha Franklin, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and the pips...wonderful performers all of them including the ones you mentioned and many more. Although it's sad that he passed away it seems like alot of the ppl I grew up with are passing away.
