Dead Page: Singers and Soul Smooth

ETTA JAMES

Being an oldies fan, her songs are key. She could sing the most beautiful songs and then turn right around and sing a very risque one next. That "Wallflower" song was one of my favorites.


WHITNEY HOUSTON

Died way too soon. One of my favorites from the 80s and with a voice that knew no boundaries. How many octaves can one person hit?


DON CORNELIUS

If there ever was a smoother soul guy, I'd sure like to know. Gave real meaning to the term "Black Power." I loved to watch those folks dancing on "Soul Train."

We'll Miss All Three. All Three Should Be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame If They Are Not Already.
