It's the moment you've all been waiting for!  We've reached the Finals!!  Here is where you will be deciding 3rd and 4th Place.  Here, Aretha Franklin, the Champion of Soul, who has seen off The Chemical Brothers and Metallica, but lose to the Beatles take on Bob Marley, the conqueror of Bob Dylan and Armin Van Buuren, but lost to Johnny Cash.

 

Here's some info to help you make your choice:

 

The Champion of SOUL...ARETHA FRANKLIN

If one looks up Soul Music in the dictionary one will find The Queen of Souls' picture... Aretha re-defined Soul in he mid sixties after signing with Atlantic Records and her very first single there, "I Never Loved A Man" was the start of a long line of number one singles. From a whispered delivery (that gives shivers to any red blooded man) to passionate primal howls this song exemplifies her style and like nearly any song she sings is hers to the bone....

 

The recipient of countless awards, honorary degrees from Universities and the Berklee College of Music, various honors and firsts she has even stood in for Luciano Pavarotti at the 1998 Grammy Awards to sing "Nessun Dorma" with less than 24 hours to prepare when he was to ill to appear... and in His Key! She is a truly remarkable and influential artist and The Jewel In The Crown of Soul.

 

The Champions of REGGAE... BOB MARLEY

Bob Marley is one of the most widely known performer's of ska/reggae music, and is credited for helping spread Jamaican music to the worldwide audience. His music style became known as the normal for Carribean music and was spread throughout the world. He has released several hits that have topped charts throughout the world, and the compilation album, Legend, released in 1984, three years after his death, is the best-selling reggae album ever, going 10 time platinum. Today, you can still here Marley hits just about everywhere you go, epecially in coastal regions, where his music fits in perfectly as you sit in the sand with an ice cold brew watching the tide come in.
