ElőadókTimmy ThomasTimmy Thomas is notable for having been a major one-hit wonder with "Why Can't We Live Together?," a song distinguished by its stripped-down production -- soulful organ, played seemingly improvisationally over a rhythm from a primitive drum machine, with Thomas' impassioned vocals layered over both. Jill ScottA mature R&B vocalist who excelled most with slower, sensual material ("Slowly, Surely," "I'm Not Afraid," "My Love") and was versatile enough to pack plenty of punch with anthems of pride and self-empowerment ("Golden," "Family Reunion," "Hate on Me"), Jill Scott grew up in north Philadelphia and began her performing career reading her own poetry. Rod StewartRod Stewart may have begun his career as a respected singer, yet that critical respect eroded as he got older, as he became more concerned with stardom and adult contemporary songcraft than the rock music that launched him. While he has recorded some terrible albums -- and he would admit that freely -- Stewart was once rock & roll's best interpretive singer as well as an accomplished songwriter, creating a raw combination of folk, rock, blues, and country that sounded like no other folk-rock or country-rock material. Alicia BridgesAlicia Bridges is an American singer who co-wrote and performed her international hit "I Love the Nightlife (Disco 'Round)" in 1978. Miquel BrownMiquel Brown, born Michael Brown in Montreal, was raised in Vancouver, Canada. She changed to Miquel so people wouldn't confuse her with a guy, a ploy that didn't help much since she kept her hair very short. Her parents wanted her to be a doctor but she had entertainment on the brain and frequented nightclubs without their knowledge. Candy DulferCandy Dulfer was born on 19 September 1969 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, as the daughter of saxophonist Hans Dulfer. She played drums at the age of five. On her own initiative, and never pushed by her father, she wanted to play the saxophone. As a six-year-old she started to play on a soprano saxophone, because her father's tenor saxophone was too heavy. She switched to alto saxophone at the age of seven, and played in the local concert band Jeugd Doet Leven (English translation: "Youth Brings Life") in Zuiderwoude. Apart from some basic musical training in a concert band and a few months of music lessons, she taught herself how to play the sax. Dee Dee BridgewaterGenerációjának egyik legjobb jazz énekese Dee Dee Bridgewater (aki a 70-es évek elején Cecil Bridgewater trombitással kötött házasságot) Franciaországba költözött magára találásához. SadeWhen Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases. Soon enough the world would have no problem in correctly pronouncing her name. Born Helen Folasade Adu in Ibadan, Nigeria, about 50 miles from Lagos, she was the daughter of an African father and an English mother. After her mother returned to England, Sade grew up on the North End of London. Tina CharlesSession vocalist Tina Charles was no stranger to music by the time she partnered with Martin Jay in 5000 Volts, in 1975, to score the international hit &"I'm on Fire." Charles and Jay already had some time together under their belts in the little-remembered band Northern Lights, while she also released a string of unsuccessful singles for CBS during 1969-1970: &"Nothing in the World," &"In the Middle of the Day," &"Good to Be Alive," and &"Bo-Bo's Party." Another early outfit, Wild Honey, cut a brace of 45s for Gordon Mills' MAM label during 1971-1972. Aretha FranklinAretha Franklin born in Memphis, mar.25, 1942. Tina TurnerThe most dynamic female soul singer in the history of the music, Tina Turner oozed sexuality from every pore in a performing career that began the moment she stepped onstage as lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the late '50s. Her gritty and growling performances beat down doors everywhere, looking back to the double-barreled attack of gospel fervor and sexual abandon that had originally formed soul in the early '50s. Divorced from Ike in the mid-'70s, she recorded only occasionally later in the decade but resurfaced in the mid-'80s with a series of hit singles and movie appearances; her high-profile status was assured well into the '90s. Andrew RidgeleyAndrew Ridgeley 1963-ban született az angliai Surrey-ben. Ridgeley-t, George Michael „csendestársaként” ismerhettük meg a Wham! nevű együttesben; mely olyan nagy slágereket gyártott, mint a „ Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” és a „Careless Whisper. Ben E. KingBen E. King maga a megtestesült „R&B elegancia” mióta feltűnt a Drifters nevű zenekar hangszeres produkcióiban. King szomorkás bariton hangjában egyszerre találhatunk rá a gospel-re, ugyanakkor a produkciókban, amelyekben részt vett, megcsodálhattuk bársonyosan sima hangját is, közelebb hozva ezzel az R&B-hez a pop rajongókat is. George BensonGeorge Benson is simply one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history, but he is also an amazingly versatile musician, and that frustrates to no end critics who would paint him into a narrow bop box. He can play in just about any style -- from swing to bop to R&B to pop -- with supreme taste, a beautiful rounded tone, terrific speed, a marvelous sense of logic in building solos, and, always, an unquenchable urge to swing. Curtis MayfieldCurtis Mayfield (Chicago, Illinois, USA, 1942. június 23. – Roswell, Georgia, USA, 1999. december 26.) amerikai soul, funk és Rhythm & Blues énekes, zeneíró és gitáros. Legjobban ismert a templomi és himnuszi zenéjéről a The Impressions-szel, és a Superfly című film betétdaláról. Ezen és más munkák miatt nagy elismerést kapott, mint az afroamerikai politikai célzatú funk úttörője. Ismert még, mint basszista, zongorista, szaxofonos és dobos. Lionel RichieAmerikai énekes, zeneszerző, producer. |
