Sam Cooke is influential as a businessman as well. There just is no way to rationally pick Sam.

Voice - check

Lyrics - check

Influence - check

He's one of the GOATs but he died before fully realizing his potential.

Duse sang some of the greatest love songs I've ever heard and was a direct mentor to Johnnie Taylor who is another one of the GOATs

He was one of the first artists to successfully transcend gospel into soul and he was ostracized from the gospel community for it. Dude is just a phenom.

nigga did u really jus say James Brown has to go!?

the most sampled nigga in hiphop!!?! smmfh

nah..

wont click..
 
Do yall have any concept of James Brown's impact? He may be the most influential figure to modern music specifically rap. He's the most sampled in Hip hop history. Thats too much to even imagine erasing. And why would you not want that? Why would you not want any of these figures? I dont participate in these because fortunately its a moot point. None of them are "going" anywhere but Sam Cooke is probably the least familiar to me. James Brown was also MJ's biggest inspiration and inspired Prince and countless others. Erase all that where is the sense in that? Not to mention his own songs the big payback, cold sweat, etc. Yeah erase big payback? smh and chuckle.

And James Brown was influenced by Ray Charles.... And Marvin Gaye was influenced by Sam Cooke

And Prince has also said he was inspired by Stevie Wonder... Stevie wonder cites Sam Cooke as inspiration...

Its all related.

James Brown was nowhere near the singer of the other 3.

There are songs where u cant even tell if hes speaking english.

His band and his showmanship carried his songs. Thats not a knock on him thats the truth. And he was a control freak when it came to his band too so the credit there still goes to him.

But actually singing.... He not fuckin with Sam, Marvin, or Ray.
