Here's a list of my favorites new and old.

Barry White-"Greatest Hits"
Maxwell-"Urban Hang Suite" and "Unplugged"
Laurnea-"Betta Listen"
Brian McKnight-**the new album
Curtis Mayfield-"SuperFly"
Isley Brothers-"Mission to Please" also "Greatest Hits"
Christion-"Ghetto Cyrano"(kind of like a Marvin Gaye thing)
Marvin Gaye-"Midnight Love"** the album with Sexual Healing
Isaac Hayes-"Shaft"
Cameo-"Greatest Hits"
Anita Baker-"Compositions"**kind of jazzy feel to it
Lisa Stansfield-anything by her, especially her first album
Keith Sweat-"Make it Last Forever", that's the best album he ever did with
help of Teddy Riley
Blackstreet-**the first one album that included "Joy"
Tone, Toni, Tony-"all of their work"
Luther Vandross-"Greatest Hits, 2 CD volume" he is the bomb "live"

These are the ones that immediately come to mind. There are many more.
I do agreed that some of today's R&B is not of any substance. What happened?
It is a money thing that's driving the industry. Quantity vs. Quality.
