It can be any decade and any artist. Just has to be R&B.
This is mine.

If you've never listened to this song I encourage you to do it now. This group is underrated.
I can't name just one... here are 3 that I love to this day:
1. "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" - The Temptations https://youtu.be/71l85z2bXAs?si=pkFsQ9iARQVL22MS
2. "The Rubberband Man" - The Spinners https://youtu.be/KSMVflSBKx8?si=zBBT8HPVX4KXStDh
3. The Want Of A Nail" - Todd Rundgren https://youtu.be/gNY6-BqUieg?si=HbLlOE85lOiRKDOm
I knew two out of three (the first two) and that ain't bad! 😁
And now I've learned a new really great song, too. I know some Todd Rundgren but I didn't know that one. Thanks!
We used to have an alternative rock station here in Columbus that would play this song a lot when I first moved here (Fall 1991). I really loved it...they used to play some really great music that you would never hear on mainstream radio and this song is one of them!
shareNo.
Not at all.

It is hard to pick when there are so many good ones! Thanks for adding these. We needed more from this time period.
shareNice!
I love it. I've heard the song but never seen the "video". Everything seemed so authentic back then. I wasn't around, in my 40's now but I'm starting to appreciate these jams much more as time goes by.
Yes, authentic is a great way to put it. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I see you are new here. I'm pretty new here too. Welcome!

I like the direction you went with this. Excellent choice! Not a group people would normally think of for R&B but just goes to show that any group can write a song that falls into the R&B category.
Culture Club was one of my very first concerts back in 1998. Love them.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the '90s, but I wouldn't consider that RnB. I would more call it funk, or even disco.
