Otis Redding--On These Arms of Mine the recording engineer said he could, "hear the tears in his voice."  And this was at the end of a long day of recording work by the band he was a roadie for...great story to hear.

Smokey Robinson--nothing else to say here.

Ray Charles--on those songs he did in soul music style.

James Brown--nothing else to say here.

Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Sam and Dave...we played all these artists' songs in bands in the '60's and '70's.  MUSIC!!
Re those not yet mentioned:
Although not at all a fan of disco, has anybody ever heard Jimmy Ellis scream "Satisfaction, came in a chain reaction"(Disco Inferno). Don’t know much else about the group but boy did that guy have lungs.
