Phillip Bailey
Philip Bailey was extremely underrated. I’ve never been a big fan of falsetto singers but his amazing falsetto voice was certainly featured all over Earth Wind and Fire’s greatest hits. By the time he left the group to pursue a solo career his biggest hit was with Phil Collins “Easy Lover” but then he was rarely heard from again and later rejoined EW&F.
I guess you forgot about Barry white Tyrone Davis
My Rushmore: Teddy, Barry, Al Green, Donny, and Nat King Cole. No said order. Remaining three: Jackie Wilson, Mr. Jeffrey Osborne, and Howard Hewitt. PERIOD!!!!! Their talent is the vis’ a vis’ of of human emotion that strikes the very core of human intimacy.
James Ingram ,Lou Rawls, Billy Ecsteine, KC & JOJo , Jerry Butler , little Jimmy Scot. These are oldies they are goodies , Dennis Edwards best David Ruffin replacement. That list is too short
jaheim, Al Jaroux on and on and on etc. Excuse my dispelling.
