Can we get a R&B/Soul/Neo-Soul thread?

Meshell Ndegeocello - Outside Your Door & Home Is Where The Hatred Is

DC's own...one of the baddest bass players ever...Anyone from the area will appreciate that Michael "Funky Ned" Neal (Rare Essence) is playing bass in the Outside Your Door vid.

Also for hardcore music fans, the second vid is a Gil Scott Heron (RIP) cover featuring another bad a** bass player Pino Palladino...
 
Lady - Money

Remember Nicole Wray (former Missy protege)? She's teamed with a brit by the name of Terri Walker to form this group....Nice song....
 
Not sure if she's been posted in here already, but I gave Rochelle Jordan a listen for the first time yesterday, and liked what I heard.

She's opening up for Jessie Ware when I see her next week, so I decided to give her a try.

^Posted some of her songs on the first page. I'm hoping opening up for Jessie Ware brings her more fans as she's really talented. Did you hear both albums or just her most recent one?

Miguel - Sure Thing (WISKIM REMIX)

Nice post DT43. I posted some Inc. on page 4. I think I posted that song on a later page too. Hope they release a an album soon...

Just heard this remix over the weekend. The link is for the soundcloud URL that has a MediaFire link for a free download...

 
Yo Mr Brown, love Jose James. He's nice live...I've posted him on some early pages in this thread & in the jazz thread several times. Love the AllSaints Basement show you posted. This might be my favorite song from that show...The trumpet player in James' band is Takuya Kuroda (page 27 in the jazz thread)...He's a Japanese ex-pat living in New York now. His album should be coming out soon...

Also posted his label mate (Blue Note) Robert Glasper interviewing him...

Jose James - Park Bench People (AllSaints Basement Sessions)
 
Jose James - Trouble (Conan O'Brien 12/18/12)

Nice post up there illphil...Haven't heard the O'Jays in a minute. Sad Eddie had to bury his son...RIP Gerald....

Just found this performance on YouTube...James has a nice band. In addition to Kuroda on trumpet, he's got a very talented bassist in Solomon Dorsey...
 
Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

This song brings back so many memories from when I was a kid...Big Pun sampled the percussion for his Still Not a Player...
 
Lion Babe (lol) bka as Jillian Hervey, Vanessa Williams daughter.

She's bad. Song isn't bad either.

 
Btw thanks everyone for keeping the thread going.. I'm pretty much obsessed with music so it's good to see threads like these and know that I'm not alone :lol: :pimp:

Was watching this vid from Jesse Boykins III and randomly noticed Sinorice Moss (Santana Moss's lil bro) who used to play for Miami, guess ball didn't work out and apparently he's an actor now

I never really gave Jesse Boykins III a chance. That track up there isn't bad at all so now would be a good time to start.
