Californiaman Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I don't believe there is an R&B Hall of Fame, but if there were and you had to vote for five acts to get in on the inaugural ceremony, who would you vote for? Lets say you have to vote for one group and four individual performers. Two men and two women. Can you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well, just for Starters: Group: The Four Tops, (2 guys, for sure) Sam Cooke Marvin Gaye (2 women, for sure) Aretha Franklin Diana Ross But, that's hardly ALL! There are SO MANY great R&B singers! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I don't agree with the concept of Halls of Fame, because there will always be someone not in it who should be, and before you know it everyone is in it including some people who really shouldn't be. But to stay on topic: Otis Redding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 If it's anything like the Rock and Roll HoF, I'll go with Daft Punk first ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I do like the idea of James Brown going in on the first ballot. He was a great entertainer. Mavis Staples is still belting them out. Here she is with Jeff Tweedy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW0kE6mucFY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
