In reply to Sam.

I agree with some of the other comments. Mr Thicke showed love by being consistent regardless of sales and dint jump on the bandwagon with a matching image (anyone remember the long hair and skateboard) and as said before he wrote classic hits for other R&B artists including for Ushers masterpiece confessions. As for the comment re Jon B. That man was headily underrated but always kept it real and never turned his back, i think the soul train awards should have a Teena Marie award (no shade) for all those white artists who sang soul/R&b and never used it for fame or a come up.
I'm not one for JT
