Birmingham Newspaper -- 12 Top Soul Groups

[Roburt]

The journo's at this paper had a good go but I'd drop 4 of their choices and substitute the Impressions, the Dells, the O'Jays and the Artistics.

Fascinating reading indeed Roburt thanks for sharing it.

If you ever needed any proof (and I doubt many on here reading this will do) as to just how important Berry Gordy and his Motown empire were not only to the rise of soul/R&B music across America during the sixties and seventies, but to the emergence of true musical superstars across the world throughout the last 4 decades, consider this.

Out of the 12 greatest soul groups listed by the Birmingham Times newspaper 7 were connected to him and the team that surrounded him.

Now that is pretty damn impressive me thinks.

I totally agree with you,how any of the four groups you mentioned were omitted,is beyond me.
