The best soul song since 1980?


Recommended Posts

Nice! My first thought was Send It On, but then I remembered it's based heavily off of a '70s Kool & The Gang song, so I can't count it (and the song itself really lost points since I found out about the near-sampling involved - just call a cover a cover. But then again it makes me wonder if I have a double standard of giving hip hop a pass where I wouldn't with a soul artist).

 

Send It On:

 

Sea of Tranquility:

Either way, Untitled is a helluva choice.

idk if id go that far but ive been obsessed with this for a few weeks now

i liked the original but this version blows it aways. ive loved both of kaceys albums so far but this makes me think shes got a great pop turn in her if she wants to make it

I do love that D'Angelo song. I'd throw a little love towards Sexual Healing too.

 

Another great one:

Not a straight up soul song, but Purple Rain is one of the all time greats.
