I've been on a 70's soul and funk kick lately, and was looking for insight on artist or songs I should check out. Even newer stuff with that sound would work.
Thanks

From when Stevie Wonder was relevant.  



22 year-old Stevie on a great series they used to have on PBS here in New York in the '70s, "Soul!" (Broadcast 1972):







24 year-old Stevie in Germany, on Musikladen:







Check out some of the talent in these iterations of his band, Wonderlove, in both of these performances (Deniece Williams, Lani Groves, Michael "Maniac" Sembello, Ollie Brown, Reggie McBride, Ray Parker, Jr., etc.)

Pusher man
Skin Tight
Smiling faces
The world is a ghetto
People make the world go round
Higher ground
Ball of confusion
Papa was a rolling stone
For the love of money.


I'm not as white as I look.
Sincerely, OTTO.

An era gone by, great singing...

Al Green for sure
Curtis Mayfields Super Fly album in its entirety
Earth, Wind, & Fire
Isely Bros  Harvest for the world, That Lady
War  The World Is a Ghetto,  All Day Music, With Eric Bourdon
Otis Redding
Otis Redding & Jimmie Hendrix  Monterey Pop
Sam and Dave
Wilson Pickett
Ike and Tina Turner

For real quality vocals there is doo wop and The Mills Brothers, but that is another era of exploration....
