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!!
