Greatest R&B album ever?

[ZoCrowes]

This is not going to be a poll just a simple question?

What do you think is the greatest R&B album ever? By R&B I mean anything from Kansas City Jump to Gospel to Soul to Hip Hop.

My vote goes to "Songs In The Key Of Life" By Stevie Wonder. This album is absolutely 100% perfect. Good ballads (rare for Stevie,) to out and out funk with a message it's got all the bases covered. It's also been heavily sampled (very BAD samples at that.)

What say you?

1. Marvin Gaye's "What's goin' on"

Mercy, mercy me.

4. Oh, second that. . .

The ultimate horn dog album!

3. What's going on by Marvin Gaye...

incredible songs, incredible musicians, incredible arrangements and the best bass in the history of finger-picked funk. If you get bored, just listen to the bass and you hear a kind of concert within the album.
Although I've tried, I could never really get attached with Stevie Wonder. Don't know, why...
