I'll Take Care Of You
Ray Charles







Smooth Melody....

Ray Charles was the stage name of Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930
– June 10, 2004). He was a pioneering American pianist and soul musician who shaped
the sound of rhythm and blues. He brought a soulful sound to country music, pop
standards, and a rendition of "America the Beautiful" that Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes
called the "definitive version of the song, an American anthem — a classic, just as
the man who sang it."Frank Sinatra called him "the only true genius in the business."
And in 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Ray Charles #10 on their list of The
Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time

One On One
Hall & Oats







Philly Smooth....

From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and
John Oates' smooth, catchy take on Philly soul brought them enormous commercial
success -- including six number one singles and six platinum albums -- yet little critical
success. Hall & Oates' music was remarkably well-constructed and produced; at their
best, their songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions
without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock.

Seal
Killer






Smooth Brit...

Seal emerged from England's house music scene in the
early '90s to become the most popular British soul vocalist
of the decade. Although his earliest material still
showed signs of acid house, by the mid-'90s he had created
a distinctive fusion of soul, folk, pop, dance, and rock that
brought him success on both sides of the Atlantic
