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
