Amber, you're correct--the 60's and the 70's are considered THEE golden eras of (then called) soul music. And with no auto-tune. Most of the R&B of today just can't hold a candle to the voices and songwriting of old. Plus, there was a wealth of it back then! I'm so happy that reactors like yourselves are discovering this amazing music. Thank you.
