Black History Month
This being Black History Month, the recent death of Teddy Pendergrass had me thinking about how hard Soul Music has been hit in the last few years with the deaths of some of its greatest voices. All of these singers had a distinct sound, something you don't get with today's R&B singers. Recent deaths include Levi Stubbs, Isaac Hayes, Michael Jackson. Going back a few more years there's Luther Vandross, Rick James, James Brown, Barry White, Wilson Pickett. And those are the big names. There's been other lesser known R&B singers who have died recently.
