Doug E Fresh
Hip Hop Artists; This is an odd case that is hard to explain except to say Doug E. Fresh probably had no idea his song The Show was not only going to be monster hit but it has reached iconic status more than 25 years after its release. If that song is played at ANY party the crowd will beat the hell out of each other to get to the dance floor.
He still performs and tours and you would think that song was released this month from the new and old generations alike reaction to it. Doug currently has a show at WBLS in New York called The Show which he does in addition to touring. Click Next for Next Singer
Charlie Wilson’s voice is the backbone of RnB music today. His style remains as relevant today as it was decades ago…I am LOVE me some Charlie Wilson…Shabba Dabba twee twee twee !!
I saw Uncle Charlie in Albany, GA on August 3rd the show was awesome. I really enjoyed it. I loved when you acknowledge God as head of your life and then gave him some praise. Keep up the good work and May God continue to Bless you.
Your Best Fan
Wow. Maxwell, Dr. Dre and Charlie Wilson but no Earth, Wind & Fire? Really? What about The Isley Brothers 50 plus years in the business and still making top 10 albums. I would put them before Dr. Dre and Maxwell.
How about Ronald Isley and Levert. L.L. Cool J. Chaka Khan. Patti Labelle.
I LOVE RHIS MAN’S MUSIC SO MUCH! !!!!!!!!
This piece doesn’t hold much validity. Any act with a fan base is able to tour without a new recording. There are lots of those (Chaka, Earth, Wind and Fire, etc.) That’s not to say Maxwell or Charlie Wilson wouldn’t LIKE to have a new hit. They’re certainly trying.
Sade and Prince, on the other hand, truly transcend the hit record and can do whatever they want. Trying to make the connection between Sade’s longevity and Maxwell simply because he used a member of Sade’s production team for his first record a million years ago, is weak. And the only thing that makes Dre relevant is that he’s rich.
