Guest Matt Male Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 For sheer output and so much of it quality, across the 60s 70s and 80s, i'd say Joe Simon has to be up there for King.
Guest JIM BARRY Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 MARVIN GAYE AND ARETHA FRANKLIN HAS TO BE THE ROYAL FAMILY FOR ME,
Soft Walker Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 For me Marvin Gaye & Tammi terrel. As individuals they were great But when they came together their voices complimented each other so well they became something else. So that there is King & Queen on the same peices of vinyl for me
Guest Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Check the avatar! Jackie Wilson Brenda Holloway BUT if we talking a King and a Queen then Marvin & Tammi(together)
Guest Dante Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Jackie & Brenda is a nice choice. Although my personal NORTHERN would be Edwin & Brenda. Lorraine is a close second. And of course Marvin & Tammi were great, but I think Brenda Holloway and, specially, Edwin Starr are regarded with much more intimate affection by the Northern scene. By the way, in some of M&T's best songs, incluiding Ain't No Mountain High Enough, each did their vocal takes separately and didn't meet at the studio...

For me that only adds to how good they really were because when you listen to those records it sounds like they're pouring their hearts out to each other.....pure quality to my ears .
