So I am totally trying to put together a very *very* basic primer on hip hop and soul (um. as both an educational People Should Know At Least a Little Bit Of This Stuff, I Mean Really and as a way of talking about Infinity on High. don't laugh, I'm *dead serious*) and I've gotten to the part where I try real hard to come up with good examples of blue eyed soul and I just...have issues. Soul basics? Sure. I've got loads and loads of motown and Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin and Al Green and James Brown and whatnot. Blue eyed soul? I have like...the Righteous Brothers, Van Morrison, Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, and Maroon 5. I just can't go there with Timberlake. I *can't* (also, copy #2 of Justified got eaten by my car. *fuck*). Patrick's there, though. For "Let's Get It On" and "So Sick."

I am totally a basics kinda girl. You will have to ask like, other people for better modern examples.

Er, Robin Thicke. At one point, he was just going by his last name, and as a consequence, I can never remember his first name without notes.
