All top notch Soul singers. Hard to choose.

Smokey Robinson - The best songwriter of the four.
'The Tracks Of My Tears', being my favourite.

Sam Cooke - His greatest record was 'A Change Is Gonna Come' (the flip side to the single 'Shake') released after his death.

Marvin Gaye - 'Lets Get It On'.
Also his duets with Tammy Terrell, 'Aint No Mountain High Enough', 'Your Precious Love', 'Your All I Need To Get By'.

Otis Redding - Only 26 when he died and yet his songs sound like they came from a man with so much more life experience!
Dont know where to start! A man with real Soul, his records full of emotion.
Hard to believe he only ever had one top twenty hit with 'Dock Of The Bay'

Amazing vocals on that song.

I think the song is called (What A) Wonderful World {not to be mistaken with the other song with same name}, and it's a damn good song. I listen to that song way too much.

Any Bill Withers fans?

I love The Beat's ska cover of Smokey Robinson's Tears of a Clown - F**king Fantastic!

Yes it is, played at 100mph too...great version.

Reading back on this list I seem to have missed out Al Green and put in Otis Redding instead.
Still can't choose a favourite from the list but Al Green certainly belongs on it (as do many others). I'd say Al Green's best was 'Call Me (Come Back Home)'...sad/painful/uplifting...Soul's "loveman".
