Tough choice...I love Marvin Gaye, but I also love "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding....Oh, as you mentioned Soul I love James Brown as well.

Luv Marvin Gaye & Motown in general but I'm more of a Doo-Wop listener. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Cool poll, Tam. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) I'd go for Marvin. Love Motown. this had so much influence on lots, lots of bands like... "Heatwave" (covered by The Jam) "In The Midnight Hour" (covered by The Jam and Roxy Music) "Dancing In The Street" (covered by The Kinks and Bowie/Jagger) etc..etc...

Otis Redding, hands down.
The greatest performer in music history (any genre) imho.

I voted for Marvin but I'm surprised Tam forgot Rick James. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Mary Jane is a class song. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Of the ones you mentioned I would have to vote for Otis Redding. I you ever get to hear his vertsion of "Satisfaction" you'll know why he gets my fucking vote.
Those guys are kinda early soul brothers aren't they tam? Well you forgot about Sam & Dave. "Hold on, I'm coming" is one of my favourite tunes ever!! "Soul man" is another one of their tunes that I love very much. If we are talkin later soul/funk stuff I would have to go for Curtis Mayfield or Bobby Womack.
Check out sam & dave in this vid
