As I’ve discussed in a previous blog, Blue-Eyed Soul wasn’t born yesterday. Robin Thicke, Amy Whinehouse and Justin Timberlake are just the latest singers to join a movement who began in the 60s and reached a peak in the 80s with singers like Michael McDonald, Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates) and Rick Astley just to name a few.
As always, folks disagreed on which singers have earned the “black” or “soulful” tags. While some credit Phil Collins for being soul, the aforementioned artists had us thinking they were brothers before we finally saw their videos. So, what exactly about a singer makes him sound “black?” Is it all vocals, or does it also have to do with production? Sound Off!
