Surprised this thread never got more traffic -- no soul fans on here?

Bessie Banks - "Go Now" -- original version

Brenda Holloway - 'You've Made Me So Very Happy" -- original version

Don Covay - "Mercy Mercy" -- note how much his voice sounds like Mick Jagger

The Parliaments - "I Wanna Testify"

David Ruffin - "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)" -- great solo single from the Temptations lead singer

Kafka, since you appear to be a somewhat serious student of music, let me pose this question to you. How do you think Marvin Gaye stacks up against some of his contemporaries like David & Jimmy Ruffin, Levi Stubbs, Smokey Robinson, etc. My personal opinion is that he is a little below their level yet he seems to get more play and attention than they do. What say you ?
