Some good choices there, Al, especially Edwin Starr, who was probably more popular in the UK than he was in his home country. Once saw him at an all-nighter in Stoke-on-Trent. He was performing with backing tapes, but the machine broke down. He then sang acapella for an hour and kept the audience totally enthralled. How many of today's artistes could do that?
