The Meters, Neville Brothers, very badass

 

The Crusaders!

This track by member Joe Sample (with lyrics by Steve Winwood's longtime collaborator Will Jennings) absolutely sizzles. Guest lead vocals by Randy Craword.

 

George Benson

Bill Withers

Grover Washington Jr.

Brothers Johnson

Disco is much better than given credit for.

And there has never been a better vocalist than the great Donna Summer. There are peers, but no one better.

THAT is a great one. I still hang around.....Neither lost, nor found....

 

And I'm listening to Al Green in the office today. He's really good.

 

Tina Turner.
1984 was terrific.

 

This was the only Jeffrey Osborne song I got into but it's one for the ages.

 

If you love his voice, you've got to check out his work with LTD, there were some soulful ballads:

Shine On
Where Did We Go Wrong
We Both Deserve Each Other

And then a a solo:

On the Wings of Love
We're Going All the Way
Only Human

George Benson is also underrated ... as a musician. Some of his non-vocals - "Being With You," "Breezin'" and "Jamaica" with Earl Klugh - are as good as those where he was known for his vocals.

 

Nobody at the Forum, or Staples (or Crypto) has crooned the national anthem like Jeffrey Osborne.

How he sang it during the Showtime years is for the ages.
