I'm a young dude and I agree with these posts. I thought OP was trolling when he said "Step In the Name of Love" is timeless

Ever, not so much and that's not saying he isn't among the greatest. I think he's hands down the greatest of my generation though, and it would be very hard to put up an argument for anyone other than him. Mary comes second sorry to say, and as much as I love D'angelo, to put it simply, no. He's more of a "what could've been" than an established legend. And no he doesn't compare to Big L who's also a "what could've been" because Big L never got a chance to show us what he could be, I think we all know, and have seen what has become of D'angelo which is absolutely nothing. So yeah dude was talented, but he never showed us that he was more talented than Kells and he never used that talent in the way Robert did so like I said it's a simple no.

Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, and Teddy Pendergrass IMO (in no particular order). Barry belongs up there too.

It's one thing to say you don't think he's the greatest but don't act like he doesn't deserve to at least be in the discussion.he has numerous #1's and has written #1's for others and his range is crazy.what's up with dudes on NT just flat out discrediting people who actually have talent...sheeesh

Doublejs. Did you just say he has a dumb fan base lol. Have you been to one of his concerts? There is so much diversity in his crowd its crazy hour steady like wth is that person doing here and they know every word to every song. Ima say it the greatest singer/songwriter of my lifetime and I'm a 70s baby. As y'all say come at me bro.

not the greatest ever but I think Ginuwine is underrated when it comes to good R & B music.
Ginuwine and Timbaland were a great combo.

In the past 20 years - R Kelly (pure genius)
Close 2nd would be Maxwell (Urban Hang Suite is what you call TIMELESS)
I wish Maxwell focused his energy more on making albums rather than producing.
I don't want to discuss anything about the 60s-80s because I wasn't born or lived in that era, but I love Mr. Gaye's library.
PS
like any other "who's the greatest" threads, it's always subjective to styles and such
