Can't link any videos yet, but look up Vintage Trouble - "Nobody Told Me". Sounds like the 60's to me.

Stevie Wonder passes the mantle to John Legend. I love John Legend. But there will never be another Stevie Wonder.

This is talent, folks. The musicians, and the guy relaxing on the couch still better than 99.99999% of singers out there.

David Ruffin
An underappreciated giant of R & B.

No discussion on male r&b singers/producers should be without D'Angelo, one of GOAT imo.

Seriously, his production and compositions have made me rethink the way I mix music, so lush and detailed, plus his voice is just so unique and silky smooth that it just perfectly slides into your head and stays there.

It must be a generational thing but to me the current crop of so-called R&B singers sound like their balls haven't dropped yet. Now here's a real back in the day R&B singer:

Not generational... I'm 50... but can appreciate young and older artists. Ron Isley is one of my favourites... and has been around forever... and he has a high voice as well. Good is good... no matter the generation.
