this is a very very VERY hard question. i will probably say sam cooke or marvin gaye. but again they are all definitely contenders.
-
Stevie WonderIt's hard to get by Stevie
Curtis Mayfield would be my 2nd choice -
Marvin GayeMarvin EPITOMIZED Soul Music. He put that ? on the map.
Don't get me wrong, I think Stevie is a better overall artist in the fact that he can make Soul, Funk, and R&B (even pop if he wanted to), but sticking to just Soul music, Marvin got ere'body. Stevie included. -
Marvin GayeIf this were "Neo-Soul".. then I'd have said Raphael Saddiq.
-
Marvin GayeMarvin's catalog is why he beats out Sam Cooke....but Sam and Ray Charles put it on the map
-
What about the Godfather of Soul Mr James Brown?
What about Otis Redding? -
Sam Cookecooke, marvin gaye is a close, close second. but he didnt write a change gonna come
-
Marvin GayeCurtis, Donny, Marvin, Sly Stone all have immeasurable contribution to genre. I voted for Marvin , because his albums of 70's era were the greatest and most influential works of black artist ever. What's Going On had impact on rock, hip-hop, soul music, I Want You spawned Quiet Storm, Hear,My Dear and Let's Get It On influented generations of new day neo-soul artists. Damn, these were the times.
