Re: As big as Rupp was
I am a '70's Motown guy... Stevie's stuff early to mid '70's but the very best ever on Motown... Marvin Gaye's golden quad... "What's Going On", "Let's Get it On", the underrated "I Want You" and the almost forgotten, but brilliant (though angry, which I happen to like) double LP, "Here My Dear".
Not Motown, but give me Al Green or give me death... "I'm Still in Love With You", the greatest "love/gettin' DOWN" record ever... yes, infinitely better than all of Barry White's music combined (see also Marvin's "I Want You" above... you're wife will thank me later).
The most underrated, though, after James Brown (one of the ten most important artists in the history of recorded American music)... late '60's to mid '70's Isley Brothers... don't sleep on the band that could play ANY kind of R&B you could name, the proof being that they did just that.
JMO, but I am right. Take it to the bank.

Maybe I missed it but I'm not seeing Otis Redding here. That man could make you cry. You could just feel his pain.
Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

Re: As big as Rupp was
badrose, if I had to list every R&B artist that I love from it's greatest era (say '67-'75) it might take two posts, but I am glad you mentioned Otis, one of my Top 10 favorite singers of all time. He came from the Stax family of artists, which I strongly prefer to most classic Motown.
That's deep South Soul music and Stax featured probably the greatest "house band" that any label ever had. MOST of that band ends up being the backing band for The Blues Brothers... Donald "Duck" Dunn, Steve Cropper, etc.

“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
