i do, but i can't tell you about anything you don't already know well. lately, i've been listening to The Ultimate Otis Redding and Etta James's At Last pretty regularly.

yes, i am aware of the artists listed here so far. let me amend my question. how about more contemporary artists who have some soul. they don't have to be straight soul singers.

Although I like the ones I listed, I've got to ask why you want contemporary recommendations? Soul from the 60's and 70's blows away even the best of today's soul artists, and I can't believe that you have everything worth owning from the 60's and 70's...dig deeper.

dig it.. same answer if anyone asks about blues and jazz.

Anyhow, how about Syl Johnson ? (cotton had a song on his on a mix he had online to DL.)

EDIT: Ok Im off line for a while so I will just post the link:

Syl Johnson- I Hate I Walked Away

Also, check out the relevant Motown, Memphis other comps.. always finding new artists via collaboration projects or session players on well known records or albums by well known artists...

i've just recently discovered the awesomeness that is shuggie otis.

yeah, i am not only intereted in straight soul, but some soulful rock and roll will do the trick too or some soulful jazz singing or what have you. like something in the bill whiters or joe cocker vein. but r. kelly is not what i am talking about.
