I got a few people to add to the list. Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates is a very soulful singer. Remy Shand is serious, Robert Palmer was very soulful (RIP), people continue to sleep on Phil Collins. "One More Night" is a hot track, that song is all soul. Jeff Buckley was soulful too. Madonna had soul for a minute, she's done.

Watch the VH-1 "Legends" series sometime, about Stevie Ray Vaughan.

It's interesting to see what BB King, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray all had to say about Stevie.

The narrator was commenting about how, in the early 80's, blues was just about history. He continued to say "In the early 80's, in the middle of Culture Club and A Flock of Seagulls, came Stevie Ray Vaughan........"

thumbsup

Buddy Guy still plays a lot of Stevie's numbers when I see him in concert. He had Jimmy Vaughan with him one time, but Jimmy just never played with the "feeling" that his younger brother had.

Y'all have GOT to check out Joss Stone. She's a white British girl, 16 years old with incomparable vocals. She's very soulful. Her record company want her to grow organically so that's why she's not as renowned, but download her records, they're hot.

My personal favorite "soulful" White singers are:

Daryl Hall and John Oates from "Hall and Oates"

The Doobie Brothers

Average White Band

Michael MacDonald

Rick Astley (yeah, I said it)

New Kids On The Block (yeah, I said it)

Christina Aguilera (although I'm not sure if she counts as "white", some would call her "mestizo", she probably isn't "white" by US racial standards)

Lisa Stansfield

Teena Marie

As a New Edition fan, I'm offended that you even MENTIONED New Kids on the Block. nono That's just wrong on so many levels. Then again, it could've been worse...you could've mentioned Justin Timberlake, Vanilla Ice or (gags) Michael Bolton.

You think so? I've been a New Edition fan for more than a decade and I've never had a problem with NKOTB. Neither does New Edition. Of course I'm not nearly as big a fan of them as I am New Edition, not much comes close to them IMO.

*Probably the best singer of her generation. I'm just saying by singing alone. If you saw her on Ellen this morning, motherhood has been very good to her.

Lisa Stansfield

* I would've added Annie Lennox, Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse on the list. Amy Winehouse is probably the only singer out right now that can give Christina Aguilera a run for her money...IF she can only stay sober. I hope she doesn't end up being the 21st century British version of Janis Joplin, health-wise.

Second that. Back in high school, my friends and I used to lip-sync/dance to New Edition songs at the local talent shows. It was only way we could get women at that time (at least for me).

No, I respect you. I just had a flashback. I remembered back in college when a sista called me a sellout because I liked Cuba Gooding, Jr. and she didn't (simply because she found out his wife was white). Yet, she's a HUGE fan of Robert DeNiro. I wonder why? Anyway, I freaking lost it when she said she wasn't a fan of New Edition, or at least she didn't like them as much as she liked NKOTB and Kajagoogoo.

Go figure.
