Stevie Wonder - OBL v The Brothers Gibb - Rusty.
Superb, timeless soul vs disco bollox.
No competition.
Like a lot of soul music, it went up it's wazoo in the late 70's with the invent of synthesizers, clean production, an ultra comfortable stars who could pump out MOR dross for MTV in a cocaine haze and I'm afraid Stevie jumped on that bandwagon.
But at the height of his powers in the 70's Stevie wrote some absolute belters.
I can't decide. I love both of them.
Nonsense. Loads of good soul in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Maxwell, Rahsaan Patterson to name a few.
I can't decide. I love both of them.
Not for me, it was all too slick and for supposed soul music it was soulless.
Ah. never mind. We'll have to agree to disagree.
