I'm picking 1967 and the recording of I Never Loved A Man as the arbitrary cut off for first generation soul stars. b, 21b, 21I can think of a lot of people still living in this category. b, 21b, 21Aretha Franklinb, 212/3rds of the MGsb, 21Rufus Thomas (?)b, 21Irma Thomas (NR)b, 21Carla Thomas (YR)b, 21Mavis Staplesb, 21Sly Stoneb, 21Tina Turnerb, 21b, 21Who else?

    b, 21b, 21Sure hope you mean Ronnie Isley.b, 21b, 21It's amazing how many of the artists listed on this thread could easily be mentioned in the rock & roll "living legends" thread...a lot of these folks like Carla Thomas, Ronnie Isley, etc.. either were part of the original R&R movement***, or caught the tail end of it, but theyre better remembered as soul actsb, 21b, 21[color:red]***keep in mind, before 1964 the terms "rock & roll" and "rhythm & blues" were almost interchangeable!--color--1/font1
