from an uk perspective 80s soul got real bad (critical) deal trapped behind the firewall of MM-sanctioned anti-"soulcalist" hostility to warmed-over 70s (and indeed 60s) soul: the likes of s.arrington, frankie beverly's MAZE, kashif (i think gone quiet by 85?), even late doors EWF were totally off-radar, despite substantial presence in the actual real charts (and pro forma respect at best from the soulcialist faction)
I JUDGE THAT...
