Your favorite 'Blue Eyed' Soul singers....
 

but first, here is an article of one of my favorite BESSs.

Remy Shand and Thicke, fa sho!

Also, I think her name was Taylor Dane? She wasn't "soulful" per se, but she had a powerful voice.

Another Thicke fan, yeah!!!:D
I also like:
Jamiroquai
Remy Shand
Hall and Oates
Boy George
Don't sleep on J.T. (Mr. Timberlake). lol

Can't think of anyone else right now.

:cool:

Two words. . .TEENA MARIE.

I also like Michael McDonald, Taylor Dane and JT, but they have nothing on my girl.

Wow, how could I forget Teena Marie and Hall and Oates!

"I can't go for that....no can do."

I liked Simply Red, George Michael, Madonna and currently feeling Justin Timberlake.

Oh, and I can't forget New Kids on the Block. :)

Word on Taylor Dayne. Her song "Love Will Lead You Back" still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, and makes me get all teary eyed.

He doesn't have blue eyes, but Toshi Kubota is a fantastic singer.. you'd never know (1) he's Japanese and (2) English isn't his native language. I also like old school Hall & Oates (Sara Smile is one of the best songs EVER).

Justin is cute.. just looking at him makes me want to take him and.. well, I'd better not say. ;) He's really matured as a singer, too.

For the last few months, I couldn't keep Steely Dan's greatest hits out of my CD player. "F.M. (No Static at All)" is a classic, as are "Do It Again" and "Peg," and "Hey 19" is da bomb!

I don't know if they count, but I have just about everything recorded by Swing Out Sister. The "It's Better to Travel" CD (circa mid-1980's) is a great relaxer ... Breakout ... Twilight World ... Surrender.

This was the thread I was looking for...
 

JON B. He is so down, most of us forget he's white. Also, I love me some Justin Timberlake

Dusty Springfield

She passed away a couple of years ago, right?

I'm sure there are those who don't know who this person is. Dusty was from England. I don't remember any songs, but I know she was from England.

She isn't that short lady that sang with Culture Club on "Church of the Poison Mind?" Who was she? She had the soulful thing going on.

Since we are speaking of the Brits, Lisa Stansfield was my GIRL! "Been around the world and I-I-I...I can't find my baby..."

:D

Dusty Springfield sang:
I Only Want To Be With You
Son of a Preacher Man
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
What Have I Done To Deserve This with the Pet Shop Boys

Her most highly regarded album is Dusty In Memphis.

She was born in London in 1939 and died in March 1999. Here is a website about her. http://www.dustyspringfield.co.uk/ :)

Teena Maria is my favorite of all time.
Philly's own Hall & Oates
I'm feeling me some Remy shand and Justin Timberlake of the new breed, and don't forget my man Jon B.

Teena Marie is my favorite too. I saw her in concert for the first time last summer in DC. I think I cried through half the show...LOL She is a tiny little lady!!

Jon B. / Hall & Oats also make my list.

Celine Dion is the only one I can think of right now.

Of course...Teena Marie. I am a huge fan (don't make me go all the back to Wild & Peaceful!)

But I also am crazy for the Average White Band and Michael McDonald (with and without the Doobie Brothers).

How Could I Forget ...
 

Bobby Caldwell!

I'm very ashamed that it took a run of Ocean's Eleven on TV to make me remember him!

Blue Eyed Soul Singer
 

Alright now this is what I am talking about! I have a short list of my favs.

Simon and Garfunkel
Carly Simon
Carole King
Lewis Taylor
The BeeGees
John Mayer
Phil Collins

Re: How Could I Forget ...
 

Hold it, Bobby Caldwell is white.....GTFOOH!!!!:p

Re: Blue Eyed Soul Singer
 

:confused:

Maybe the Bee Gees and MAYBE Phil Collins, but are those other ones REALLY Blue-Eyed Soul Singers? I haven't heard any of the other's music on R&B stations. :confused: Especially Simon and Garfunkel. :eek:

Carole King-she had a hit in the 70s,but she's no Teena Marie. LOL. Carly Simon? I've NEVA heard her on R&B.

Coming outta the closet
 

Ok, I now officially luv me som' Justin Timberlake! :D
I just bought.....yes bought, not downloaded, but bought his CD this past weekend and love it!

hello my name is darling 1......
 

I TOO LOVE ME SOME JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!!:D :p


i like an artist by the name of THICKE. i haven't had the chance to hear his whole album but i LOVE "When I Get You Alone".

I am definitely feeling Justin Timberlake, Thicke, Remy Shand, and Jon B.

Re: Re: How Could I Forget ...
 

That he is. Saw him about two weeks ago in San Diego at a smooth jazz :o festival. He was good.

Disclaimer: ST still doesn't really dig smooth jazz...:p

Teena Marie!!!
Wham (George Michael's old group)
Hall & Oates (I love "Sarah Smile")

Re: Re: Blue Eyed Soul Singer
 

I guess you are right if you think of soul music in the classical sense of the word i.e played on the Black radio stations, I thought of soul in the more philosophical sense meaning the lyrics used touch the soul in some way, shape, or form. As for most of the artists that I mentioned, their songs were actually redone by singers you may deem "soul" artists i.e. Carole King's Natural Woman.

Peace and Blessings

Teena Marie
Darryl Hall
Michael McDonald
Jon B
Lisa Stansfield

All I have to say is Careless Whispers.

Re: Re: Re: How Could I Forget ...
 

I love me some Bobby Caldwell, and I am totally blown away that ole boy is white....but I still like him.

Justin (and JC when his CD drops)
Thicke
Jon B
Teena Marie
Carole King (GREAT songwriter)
Hall and Oates
STING!!!
Michael McDonald
early Kenny Loggins
Elton John
George Michael
Boy George
Lisa Stansfield (what happened to her)
Does Christina Aguilera count? :p

Re: Re: Re: Re: How Could I Forget ...
 

I've known that BC is white since the late 1970s. I think What You Won't Do For Love was released in 1978, on Clouds Records out of Atlanta.
:cool:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How Could I Forget ...
 

I am for real trippin because I have liked that song for years, and I have never in mylife seen a pic or anything of BC, and I am for real trippin,( I know I said that already....but I am :D) that he is white....but it's all to the good!!!....Ya Heard!!

Carole King (Tapestry is one of my all time favorite albums)
Teena Marie is the GIRL
Doobie Brothers
George Michael
Hall and Oates (I LOVE me some Daryl Hall)
Kenny Loggins

This may show my age, but:
The Righteous Brothers

Let me join the bandwagon!
 

Teena Marie definitely. I always said I was gonna have "Portuguese in Love at my wedding and didn't they have it on the wedding on girlfriends.

Thicke- It's hard to believe Alan Thicke could have a son that can blow like that. My first thoughts were "Jason Seavers son can sang!"

Hall & Oates are the definitve of Blue Eyed soul.

Remy Shand is off the chains! I also enjoy Hall and Oates and Justin Timberlake...also, if you are into the Neo-Soul sound, check out Christina Aguilera's new joint, "Lovin' Me 4 Me"(when you hear it, you will be quite surprised).:cool: :cool: :cool:

I had to look twice at the CD cover!!
 

Diana Krall sounds like a black woman! I recently bought a jazz cd that is a compilation of musicians from waaaay back like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Etta James, etc. Anyway, there was also a song by Diana Krall on it (she's a modern singer and probably the only living person on the CD). Since I'd never heard of her, I looked at the pictures on the CD. I was amazed!

I called this brother Remy Sham, I thought he was overly hyped up because he was white.

Re: I had to look twice at the CD cover!!
 

She is fab!! I have three of her cds.

...Michael McDonald.

Re: I had to look twice at the CD cover!!
 

Yet another Canadian makes the list! (Diana's from Nanaimo, British Columbia, a working-class town that is DEFINITELY short on soul ;)
