Do we have any icons left now?

Some of them arent in rarified air like Stevie
Mj and prince.

Lionel
James Ingram
Jeff Osborne second tier
I wouldn't say Lionel is second tier. He has just as many hits and possibly even contributed more to the music game across all genres including country.
 
Stevie wonder is still around
This!!!^^^^^^

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

There hasn't been a real icon since 1996. The way the music industry is structured now there probably never will be.
 
Anita Baker, Sade, Stevie Wonder, Isley Brothers, Patti LaBelle, Smokey Robinson, and Quincy Jones top my list.
Michael Jackson and Prince were just on another stratosphere and we were all just privileged to live in that era and
experience it. This is a Major, Major loss for Real music and entertainment.
 
Many icons left, but like someone else said, we need to celebrate these folks while they're still here.

Herbie Hancock
Wayne Shorter
Chuck D & Public Enemy
KRS-One
Outkast
Lee "Scratch" Perry
George Clinton
Bootsy
Bernie Worrell (Pfunk)
Sade
Janet Jackson
Questlove
Roy Ayers
Sly Stone (surprised no one mentioned him)
