Isn't contemporary R&B all of the stuff that has the autotune and heavy hip hop beats/background.

Well, in this millenium, yes, but not so much in the 90's when the phrase/sub-genre neo-soul was coined.

She had such a great voice but never really gained many plaudits.

A coffee table band here and understandably so but I really like this track.

The guy is a twat and never did anything again but what a great track.

I am cross pollinating here with Nu Jazz a little but even if a track is utterly commercial I can still give it merit if it still sounds tolerable today.
