This is tough one. There are so many to choose from, especially from the hint about R&B. I'm at a loss. Probably will feel like an idiot for not figuring this out. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteHave always liked R&B. So soothing a sound. There were so many that were into R&B that just exploded on the scene. Good thing for us growing up in this time. Still listen to R&B about 75% of the time when I can.
ReplyDeleteHi from Motown! Featured artist must be one of the greatest obviuosly. Lots of duets around at that time. The son of a preacher is throwing me off. I was not paying attention to the person's background back then. I only cared about the music and whether or not I enjoyed it.
