Top 10 Favorite Recording Artists Poll - Soul Train Edition

It’s time for Round # 2 of my big, gay, name your Top 10 most favorite recording artists polls. Last time we covered white people (rock) music and this round will be the Soul Train edition.

List your personal, ten most favorite soul, R&B, funk recording artists. Don’t worry about jazz, blues, hip hop, reggae, etc., as we can hit these at a later date. Each group or artist in your top 10 gets a 1 vote and I will tally up the results one week from today.

Mine in no particular order:

- Sam Cooke
- Prince
- The Meters
- James Brown (and all associated spin off acts)
- Otis (my man) Redding
- Wilson Pickett
- Parliament
- Fela Kuti (could fall into jazz or world music but close enough)
- Dr. John (token white guy)
- Marvin Gaye

Honorable Mention: Ray Charles, Al Green, anything from Daptone Records (e.g., Sharon Jones, Budos Band, etc), Stevie Wonder, Allen Toussaint, Sly Stone, Rick James
