sting and the police
phil collins and genesis
teena marie
just to name a few………..
you guys need a slap for adding jojo smmfh!
Where is the Average White Band, and Herb Alpert?
Nice try homie, but I don’t think, you’re “in the know” to be putting together lists. White acts accepted by blacks didn’t just start in the 90s and putting Elvis there was off the topic. Elvis was a re-recorder of black hit records. James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, etc. get a clue
Where in the world is Hall and Oates?!!! And I agree, Teena Marie should have been on this list way before Jojo!
That list is weak and wrong in several spots.
Somebody just had an assignment to do and put together any old list to get it done … I haven’t heard of half these people. Icons???
Without Teena Marie or the BeeGee’s this is definitely a joke!!!
Where the hell is Teena Marie???
Peter Frampton, he made some hot black-soulful songs. he was one of the first people to use the voice synthesizer and also influenced Roger Troutman
I’M SUPRISED THE BEASTIE BOYS AREN’T ON THIS LIST
AND WHO THE HELL PUT JOJO ON HERE? ARE YA KIDDING?
The BeeGees (GOD rest their souls), Teena Marie, Blondie, Rare Earth, David Bowie, & who can forget the almighty Tower Of Power…some baaaaaddd white boys…even today!! (Icons)
and where is teena marie? you can tell this list was made by a 18 year old…the only ready michael mcdonalds and jon be are on here is probably b/c somebody screamed “hey, name some white singers i can’t think of any!” in the office….pathetic.
timberlake and thicke just made this list 100% bonafide bulls**t.
