Hi Eve. Thank you for your feedback.
I really like this list! It’s like a journey through R&B from the 60s to modern-day, basically covering a few generations. At a wedding, you can easily see the grandparents singing along to the Tempts and Miracles, etc., and the kids today enjoying Ella Mai and so forth. There are some recent songs I hadn’t heard of that I will be checking out as well. Thanks again for posting this!
Awesome D.D. Thanks for the feedback. We do update this list a couple of times a year. Be sure to check back!
