Whenever I think of R&B I always think of Boyz II Men. They are legends!!!! You can't deny that they had some of the greatest vocals and songs out of any other R&B group. So I was extremely excited to hear that they released a new album. Its on sale at Amazon right now and I just ordered mine. Have any of you heard the album yet. What do you guys think?

All of the artists mentioned in this thread so far are really good. I haven't heard the new album by B2M but I've heard it wasn't that good from a few people.

My fav R&B artist as of now is Ryan Leslie.

they havent had anything good in awhile, 3 of thier last 4 (including newest) are nothing but them signing others old songs.

Nothing original etc... have lost alot of respect for them!

When you ask who are the best R&B singers of all time. You really have to ask what era.

Motown Era: It had to be Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5 and the Temptations. (Diana Ross and Gladys Knight gotta be in there too)

As far as "newer" early '90's R&B to current acts: I'm a say Keith Sweat, Mariah Carey, R. Kelly and Usher.


Sorry Akon and T-Pain..
