But in that run up a whole lot of female soul based artists
have been forgotten.


I want the female soul/rnb artists you think the world may have
lost or forgotten.Or Hidden gems by artists that most people don't know about!

My contribution is:

For Real [1993-1999]

A lost RNB female group who did the whole Motown RnB with modern production
15 years before Mark Ronson.A female group that decided not
to do the T&A bikini stuff and wore their hair naturally, even
shaved their heads in protest.



For Real - "Like I Do"[1996]




A beautiful suummer acapella...


For Real -"You Don't Know Nothing"[1994]

En Vogue [1989-1998]

Famously made up of four lead singers, four Diana Rosses. No back up singers
in this group.Older than their rnb peers, normal woman like physiques, no bean poles.
Each one capable. No weak links. Sang mainly in the New Jack Swing
genre of RnB and the videos had a habit of having future
acting stars in them.Frequently voted the best all round mainstream
female RnB group of the 90s.

[EDIT!:- Rearranged the songs, replaced one!]

THE SONGS:

The song below made them famous...and yes
the guy with the trumpet is from Gladiator the movie,
djimon hounsou.......


En Vogue -" Hold on"[1990]



No fear, no shame.....

En Vogue -"You Dont Have To Worry" [1990]





Doing their very best "Road Movie Supremes" impression....

En Vogue - "Runaway Love"[1993]







Very, very rare original mix of the song "Whatever", not the one that
was officially released....

I also asked Whitechaplians for some hidden gems from well known artists,
not just the forgotten ones.....


So lets kick it off with THE QUEEN OF SOUL, never to be forgotten
Aretha Franklin. This version of this song about pining for a distant
love sends chills up my spine.SHE OWNS THIS SONG...



Aretha Franklin -"Aint Nothing Like The Real Thing..."[1974]




She threatened to take Aretha's crown but instead became
an RnB Celine Dion. But in truth she couldn't completely
"make-over" her urban roots when she remade Mobb Deeps
"Shook ones Part II"one of the grimiest songs ever as a love song
to 80s Hip Hop B-Boy nostalgia.Roof top parties and first loves...


Maria Carey - "The Roof"[1997]



Alicia Keys.With a beautiful song about commitment.The better
version of the song.which seems to be flying under the radar.
With that 80's reverb...


Alicia Keys ft Drake "Im Ready"REMIX[2010]




Was my anthem in 2003, back when i was luvved up..

Well Val, you're not the only one who thinks so too. The BBC has

BBC Documentary: The God Mother of Rock n Roll: Sister Rosetta Tharpe

I'd of course like to think they nicked your idea, but it'd probably great
minds thinking alike.


THE GOOD GIRLS [1989-1992]

Beyonce, that Rnb force of nature did some big festival
over here in the UK ,some big outdoor,camping thing (cough!),
Well ,she was part of Destinys child.

But there was another lost RnB group who were the prototype for Beyonce's
and Destinys Child's brand of fiercer, more uptempo, "I don't just look pretty
I sing and can out dance any man too".That group were the Good Girls
who also sang in the New Jack Swing sub genre of RnB which is the fore runner of all
modern RnB including Beyonce's.


I love that James bond humming bassline that runs through this
song, like most of those new jack swing songs had..



The Good Girls - "Just Call Me"[1992]



Lets compare!And since the original 4 girl line up , not the later 3 girl
line up of Destinys Child with Beyonce will never be reformed that incarnation
can also be considered a lost group...


Destinys Child - "No No No [Part 2]"[1998]

ADELE officially outsells Michael Jackson's
Thriller in the UK for her album 21 the story is here....

Back to the great Female RnB acts of the past that have been lost to time....

Very rare find. From the 1987 album "Broken Puzzle" by Theresa. I think this only exists on the internet.
The sound is very mid 80s RnB just before the hand over to the new jack swing sub genre,
so its all reverberated drums, reverberated vocals, and that weird "oriental" vibraphone instrument
being played in the background that stayed in the 80s and never traveled. Also lots of yearning
melachony and the last time RnB artists wore knitted Cardigans on album covers
as a fashion statement.



Theresa - "Sweet Memories" (1987)





An uptempo song from Theresa, here the upcoming new jack swing influences could be felt in
this song- "the last time". Very rare video, the only place I have ever seen this video
is on the link below....

Theresa - "Last time"(1987)




Moving to the 90s, The Queen of Rock & Soul sub genre- Dionne Farris.
She is so underrated it's a bloody crime.Great song.Seamless blend of soul and 90s
rock production...


Dionne Farris -"Passion"(1986)

Sweet Sable - "Old Times Sake"(1994-From The Above The Rim Film Soundtrack)




Great Midtempo RnB dance song.Modern RnB production
really doesn't do these mello bass lined
almost jazzy head nodding songs anymore



Koffee Brown - "After Party"(2000)






UK stand up! I love the next song- twentyfourseven". When i first heard
this and a few similar sounding songs swirling around London,
I swore we would finally be having that RnB/UK garage fusion genre
that had been threatening to appear. But no...:-(..this
mellow summer song is still being played...

The SUBBASS on the track "Play" puts many dance songs to shame.
So if you have an appropriate system that can play that low, you'll appreciate this song.
Alot!

GAOPELE- "Play"





The enigmatic dark soul of the UK's Jackie Joyce aka Helicopter girl has a proper cult following.
It's strange for such a voice that would be a perfect fit on a Trip Hop, or Dubstep
song isn't hunted down by many dance producers. Why hasn't Kanye West used
her on one of those dark ballads he's been putting out? You can't leave it to just
Rod Stewart.No really...

UK artist Veba has such a stunning unique voice. It's the way she pronouces
the words, she sounds to me like some old school 1930s London theater actor,
who has learned to EN-NUn-CI-ATE every word properly, but then left the theater to
sing Post Trip Hop songs. Check out "Spellbound" to see what I mean...


Rae & Christian ft Veba - "Spellbound' [1998]




The above song was from the cult 1990s album - Northern Sulphuric Soul
by the group Rae & Christian


The next song is sooo FUNKY...just to et the doubters know Veba can do
uptempo! A lost dance floor gem for the funkateers out there.From the 2005 album
Veba vs Grand Central.


Rae & Christian ft Veba - "Fold or Flower"[2005]

till there was nothing like the original band left. A bit like Dr Who,each of us belong to
a specific version of the band, a particular Sugababes generation.

Well the envitable happened, the original 3, Mutya Keisha Siohban,or MKS
just leaked a song on the internet that is brilliant and will probably never be released.

it's them singing over the instrumental of rapper
Kendrick Lemar's "Swimming pool" (drank)

MKS- "Lay Down in Swimming Pools"
