Soul music will forever be relevant. Ppl love soul music & they love Jazz - yet another "dying" genre according to some! The problem isn't the talent but the opportunity to showcase your abilities due to limited media ownership! When you don't own your media outlets then you ge what you GOT!

Jill Scott, Ledisi, and dozens of other Soul singers could sing Adele into a grave. I like Adele but we should all know by now her success is not simply based on the type of music she sings. If so, many of todays R&B artists would also sell CDs like wildfire! Success these days is dictated by "the machine" backing the artists!
