Oh, good lord. Did you read her autobiography? She is sooo whiny. And phony, phony, phony. Absolutely can't stand her. I like the Supremes, but...just barely.

...I dont like her enough to listen to her music....just my pick out of these people. I'm not a fan of this type of music. But you're right, she's a phony biotch.

In a lot of places in Europe, that actually is how it's labeled. Instead of an R&B or soul or rap or hip-hop section of the music store, there's a section labeled "black music."

Thank you!

If Al Green was on here, though, I would have gone with him.

I love Al, but I'd still go with Mr. Gaye.

This is the type of music that I grew up with so I'm getting all nostalgic now

Marvin. I might have to listen to Heard It Through The Grapevine right now.

That's a little scary. Almost as bad as when it was called "race music."

I've never actually heard anyone call it that...I've only read it.

I have it called that more times than not. I think it is okay to use that term though. Sadly, in Elvis' day, his music, which emulated black music, was called ni**er music and it got him banned lest white kids be exposed to it. Interestignly, the horrid use of that term in a fairly significant way helped bring around greater public acceptance of inter racial mingling, etc. So, from travesty came a good thing - though that cannot make up for the travesty.

The ironic thing is, the "white" versions of those songs were heavily sanitized. I have a couple of CDs by "jump blues" artists from the '40s...and some of that stuff would have the good white Christians in a tizzy even today.
