Adding No Doubt to the list, don't think they have been mentioned...

Didn't we tell you not to post here?;)

I like No Doubt, but nope, they are not soul (Don't Speak notwithstanding- nice tune, worrrst lyrics). They make great pop music, not soul music.

I think we are mixing up "white" artists that are crossover (i.e. "black folks liking some rock n roll) vs. blue eyed soul.

Queen - crossover "Another One Bites The Dust"(one of the best baselines ever!)
Pat Benatar - crossover "She belts out those hits" "Love is a Battlefield, Shadows of the Night, Fire and Ice" (I like her)
No Doubt - crossover
Maroon 5 - crossover
The Police - crossover (Love "Roxanne &, Voices Inside My Head)
Lenny Kravitz (our own hybrid :))crossover, but definitely a rocker


Hall and Oates - Blue eyed soul, with a spash of pop rock
Robin Thicke - Blue eyed soul
Teena Marie - Blue eyed soul
Jon B - Blue eyed soul (underrated, CD's are consistenly good, needs a comeback soon)
Joss Stone - Blue eyed soul
Michael McDonald - Blue eyed soul

I just saw a whole rack of Backstreet Boys/NSync vids... guuh... I was drooling... lawd take control

Teena Marie and Freddie Mercury (Queen) hands down.

I'd have to say Adrian Hood... He sings "Brown Eyed Blues"... it's on the Daddy's Little Girl Soundtrack... Loves it!

I saw Joss Stone yesterday at the Now and Zen Festival in San Francisco and sistah girl to' it up!

Here are a couple of the photos I took (I was in the front row)

I gotta admit I was mainly there to see my man James Blunt, but man, Joss was off the chain! :D

Marc Broussard...LOL... Love and Happiness

I think we might be able to add Phil Collins/Genesis to that list.... "In the Air Tonight" is another one of those classics (thanks to Miami Vice). And where do we place little Justin? Crossover I think. :confused:

LOVE Pat Benatar, Love Maroon 5, the Police, Hall & Oates.... Lawd havemercy, I would LOVE to get Lenny Kravitz in a room alone for a couple two three days, um, hours, er, I mean minutes..... :p
dang, what was I saying??? LOL

Oh yes.... I totally agree with VirtualViolet about Jon B. He was consistently good, and I would love to see a comeback (but he did have a CD out what, in 05 or 06?)

Great topic, I could talk about music for days! :D

Don't forget Bobby Caldwell from back in the day! Some of you may be old enough to remember, at least I hope so!:)

I LOVE that song- it's a classic! I didn't even know he was white though!

That's my jam! *thinking I just dated myself by saying that* LOL

Me the hell either

BLUE EYED SOUL
 

Didn't have a chance to read all of the threads but I don't think they these 2 were mentioned....

Michael McDonald......the duet with Patti Labelle was a staple in my household growing up....and even his stuff with the Doobie Brothers and his solo stuff very soulful...

I am not sure if a lot of people know about her but...Shoshanna Bean....she played Elphaba (wicked witch of the west) in the Broadway play Wicked can sing her A$$ off...if you get a chance to hear her do Aretha's "Ain't No Way" you will be amazed....she can blow!! Check her out! Amazing!
