Time to smooth it out.... R&B legends

Good morning Rawkers. Let's spend a few minutes talking about a handful of the few "special" singers that especially tickle my groove bone. The list is short, featuring four of the monsters of R/B and soul -- Donny Hathaway, Al Green, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and Sam Cooke. If there is one or more of these cats you don't know, PLEASE do yourself a favor and pick up a cd or two. They are simply the smoothest masters of the groove scene and really know how to set the right mood, if you know what i mean (apologies and no disrespect intended to the late great Marvin Gaye).

Needless to say, there is no shortage of other names that could be added to this hall of fame list, and no doubt several of you will offer some up. But these guys are my fave picks of this great genre's very best offerings.

If i can only pick one song from each, they would be as follows:

Donny Hathaway -- "Giving Up"

Al Green -- "Love and Happiness"

Bobby Bland -- "Goin Down Slow"

Sam Cooke -- "A Change is Gonna Come"

Beautiful, all. So slow down and enjoy their blues.

Go in peace....
