My early vote goes to concrete infused sound of Syl Johnson. Obscure or group leader suggestions are also encouraged.

I'll see your Etta and raise you a Linda Jones.
Psycho. The Turbo recordings are WAY over the top, even more than the Loma stuff.
but soul wise I gotta go with Bobby Patterson "T.C.B. or T.Y.A.", "Dont be so mean"...dude is raw
I was just watching the Soul To Soul movie the other day thinking: goddamnit, this guy knew how to rock a crowd. Co-sign on Etta James when it comes the females. Throw a little Betty Davis in there as well.
Have to agree with Lee MOses as well, but I gotta throw in Big Ella, too.
He'd scare the bitches that are liking him.
That motherfucker's crazy, throw your panties on the stage.
Oops...forgot about Rex.
Can't touch this...
Duke rocked it!
betty davis
ken boothe
Since cats are going outside the soul box, I'll add this sister....

Van Morrisson
Eddie Holloway
Little Beaver (Saadia era)
Arlester Christian (like a mug)
Chucky Thurmon
The one song where dude goes "Oh yes he is!"
I forget the name of the song, "Generation" or something. It was an MP3. Shit was raw.
That Steve Colt "Steal Away" also comes to mind.
Hoo Hahh.
Man I got a headache the size of beruit.
Vernon Garrett
Big Daddy Green

Billy Garner
Otis

Koko Taylor
Sugar Pie Desanto
cosign Wicked Pickett/Etta J

Goddamn that's a dope photo. Dope suit too.
Yeah, you motherfuckers already know that I got feelings for Syl.
Montgomery Express.
Some of her pre-1975 recordings actually flirt with soul music...try "A Mighty Love" (non-LP single on the Yambo label) or "Separate Or Integrate" (on Chess).
