Sorry, I can't stop just calling all this stuff merely "stuff I used to listen to on the schoolbus as a kid".
I mean, somehow Rick James' Street Songs album doesn't seem to me like it fits the "modern soul" mold.
And that first clip that musica posted sounds a whole lot like Cameo to me, and I can't start calling Cameo "boogie".
I mean, I sorta see the distinctions being made with these terms, but eh.
