The Top R&B Vocalists of All-Time

James Brown used to sing “It’s a man’s, man’s world..” but we know that’s not necessarily true. It’s the lady’s that could bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan. Here’s our list of the best R&B Women vocalists of all time…

1. Aretha Franklin
2. Dionne Warwick
3. Mavis Staples
4. Chaka Khan
5. Janet Jackson
6. Whitney Houston
7. Tina Turner
8. Tammi Terrell/Kim Weston
9. Mariah Carey

Did you see this list? It’s the ‘who’s who’ of the greatest R&B women singers. Sure you’ve got to include Tina and Aretha, but Tammi and Kim were under rated from the Motown era, while Mariah and Whitney gave us love in the 80s. Mavis Staples and Chaka are deserving of the attention, while Dionne singing out those Burt Bacharach songs, filled the 60s with incredible love.
