I like the SOS band,Freddie Jackson,Luther Vandross,Whitney Houston,Teena Marie,but I really more prefer 70's soul/funk like Earth wind and fire.In the late 1980's people like Bobby Brown and Teddy Riley wanted to make R&B more "street" although it wasn't really street but I would have rather it stay in more traditional soul style and let hip hop be hip hop.Well the 1980's was the last decade when music actually was progressing very wll but 90's music especially R&B was mostly samples and trying to use more overty sexual lyrics.No one was complaining in the 1980's it was only until the 90's and 2000's people started complaining about evolutions of music.
