Hopefully this is okay, only front man Darius Rucker is black. Their first album was huge. I thought they put out some quality stuff w/ subsequent albums, but it didn't really catch on. Darius had a decent run as a solo artist as well, I think he went more country.

Did we get any Lionel Richie yet? Maybe from before he went solo?

This was a surprise hit back in the sixties

One of my favorite movies as a kid and made me a huge fan of Ms. Streisand.

Feeling like the 90s artists are underrepresented. Some of it wasn't really my jam, but I heard some of it on the radio and thought it was pretty good.

Two legends performing together. greatest video Ever. R.I.P. Sammie Davis Jr. And GodFather Of Soul James Brown.

A great post that I am sure many have never seen.

Muddy Waters, with some special guests - "Baby Please Don't Go":

One of the best posts I have seen in a musical thread. I get it is very opinionated but this is very up my ally.

King Curtis was the man on the horn on many a record back in the day as we say. A most wonderful soulful and smooth player. He had it all.

If you going to mention Boyz II Men, you have to mention these guys.
