Local soul vocalists tend to split between classic soul (Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye) and modern soul and R&B (Adele, Sam Smith, John Legend, Joss Stone). Most maintain published setlists on their profiles, and the majority will learn one or two specific requests for a wedding or milestone event without an extra fee, provided there is reasonable notice.
