Who are the alltime greatest white soul singers?

Joe Stampley made this song a hit twice, once during the 1960s with his blue-eyed soul band The Uniques and again during the 70s as a solo artist in the country genre.

 

Actually I think many people who initially heard her on the Rick James' Street Songs album thought she was African American.

 

Definitely! Eddie Brigati, too. He was a bit more "vanilla" than Felix, but still very soulful with great range.

 

Tony Joe White. He was the first famous musician I ever saw in concert (opening for Steppenwolf in 1970). That's how I found out that Tony Joe was white.
Johnny Rivers could also be pretty soulful when he rose to the occasion.

 

Lets put Lyle Lovett on this list.

 

Then we will have to add chris isaak

 

Daryl Hall

 

Daryl Hall, Robert Palmer, Hamish Stuart,Michael McDonald. Among others

To late to edit my 1st post but I had forgot about Roy Head

 

Since we have stretched the boundaries quite a bit: Conway Twitty. Country boy soul.

 

And of course Charlie Rich when he wasn't having to sell records would revert back to soul, blues, jazz...

 

Should be Felix AND Eddie of the Young Rascals / Rascals

 

Lewis Taylor
Shawn Smith
Jeff Buckley (on Everybody Here Wants You)

Alex Chilton (Box Tops era)

 

Here is Eddie Brigati of the Young Rascals

 

Eh, define soul, but I think Donnie McCormick from the Eric Quincy Tate band is pretty soulful

 

Maggie Bell's got to be up there
