Hey hey hey, some of their songs you know would fall under 'soul' (I believe i saw one of them played on Vh1 Soul actually  ), they are no Teena Marie girl group, but SOME credit is due

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 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. 
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.....
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!

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!
