R. Kelly
Michael Jackson

I don't know the rest!

Keith Sweat - The King of New Jack Swing. Without him there would be no Usher, R. Kelly, Joe, Ginuwine, Tyrese, Mario,

R. Kelly - Not a classic.

Luther Vandross - Stella classic in every sense. RIP.

Brian McNight - Not a classic. His only great song is "Anytime" All the rest are below par.

Prince- I adore this man. He is the personification of music and one the most talented people on this Earth.

Michael Jackson - I don't want to comment. When he was black he was a classic. I just had to say it.

Gerald LeVert - Not a classic. he's alright. Great voice. Average material.

Babyface - Yep he's a classic. He just shouldn't make any more records.

Bobby Brown - Not a classic. Hey he was the precursor to Usher so I rate him as the 2nd man of New Jack Swing.

Johnny Gill - Killer voice. "My, my my." is the jam! Not a classic but I've got love for him.

All of them are so so good. THERE ARE NO WORST.

micheal jackson(the king.no present artist is as influential as this man was at his peak in the eighties.he has his problems now but no artist apart from him has featured in the cover page of more than one popular entertainment/music magazine for more than one year running.)

when did these artist become classic musicians

i have not seen anything that qualifies those mentioned above to be rated as classics. you should be talking about barry white and marvin gaye not perverts like R.Kelly and modern day monkeys like MJ.

Hey, your kind of right, but I didn't thin the mojority of the folks on this site were old enough to know of the likes of Marvin gaye, and the other classics from his time. So this is for the Old Heads out there.

Barry White, 

Al Green

James Brown

Marvin Gaye

Otis Redding

Rick James

Smokey Robinson

Little Richard

Curtis Mayfield

Isaac Hayes

George Clinton

Stevie Wonder

Sam Cook

Ray Charles

Lionel Richie

now this new list is what i call the classics, not them knuckle heads perverts.

good job hero.

one the top of my list is barry white, den stevie wonder before marvin gaye. the rest know where they stand.

luv the second list dey made real music not the kind of crap nowadays u hear on the radio^{oldskool music fan}

first of all you guys judge wrongly.the thread asks to rate the artists listed thats all.

the ratings are by their works not their personal lives.r kelly yes was perverse but you can't deny that he ruled 90's male

r&b.no one there comes close.

unfortunately i will agree that most of the forum members are too young to have known these artists properly

fela kuti for instance is undoubtedly the greatest intertnationally known artist to come from nigeria.

he had many wives and led a nasty life.no one cares about that.his music rules.

the other list with marvin gaye otis redding.great those guys ruled as well at their peak.but thats another story

that fucking R kelly should not be on any list. Eye sour

You are a disgraced to me because you do not add any Nigerian or African Artistes.

You cannot see American or European posting a thread like this without adding their country Artiste.

ah it dosent rily matter,maybe cos hero lives in us and can only remember those iin the country hes in

Oya name one Nigerian soul singer for us

Nigerians always harp on irrelevancies!

fNigerians always harp on irrelevancies!

and Americans or Europeans don't harp on irrelevancies abi? What about King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Chief Stephen Osita (Osadebe), Sunny Okosun, Late Paul I.K. Dairo, Orlando Owoh, Moses Olaiya a.k.a Babasala. Do they harp on irrelevancies.

Well from the list i would go for:
Otis Redding
Louis Armstrong
R Kelly
Marvin Gaye
Lionel Richie
Ray Charles
Michael Jackson

Based on your list I have only 3 classics that belong in the hall of fame:

Michael Jackson (The black and maybe the 1/2 caste, but not the white version)

Prince

Luther Vandross

R. Kelly
Michael Jackson.
the rest, no idea.
Hey, you forgot to include Phil Collins

Don't we have classic musicians for Nigeria, UK or other countries or you just want people's opinion on the ones you listed?
