The Isley brothers don't get much attention but they should be on the list. The beetles get credit for this song but the isley's performed it first amd I like their version better

Is there any new icons?

After Beyoncé I can't think of any. But even Beyoncé isn't on the same level as MJ & Prince.

Rihanna borderline

 

[keith6]

Sade

 

[Drayonis]

Let's face it. If you grew up in the 80's all of our cultural icons are dead. This is how you know you are getting old.

There's never going to be another Michael Jackson, never going to be another Prince.

 

[jerrynuevo]

Chaka Kahn

Aretha Franklin

Stevie Wonder

Tina Turner

Oprah

Danny Glover

Denzel

 

[MonkeyBizness]

Harry Belafonte
Stevie
Quincy Jones

These are the folks when they pass, you have to stop, pause, take inventory on their impact on the culture, and mourn.

 

[VaneGod]

Who ever said Sade was correct. She is music

 

[ballscout1]

Aretha still around and singing..
