    More Old School R&B

    I am new to this forum and I pray that my post is not out of place, out of line, or misunderstood. I was just curious as to why the R&B section of Rock Band seems to be so small? There are several groups out there that in my opinion of course, could qualify for the instruments that are relative to Rock Band. Groups like Atlantic Starr, Frankie Beverly and Maze, and Loose Ends just to name a few. I do understand that this is "Rock Band" and that many of the songs in the song list, DLC's and downloadables are relative to that name. But I was just curious to know if Rock Band was going to further venture out into the old R&B world other than James Brown, The Ohio Players, and Average White Band? Thanks!!

    We're getting Stevie Wonder shortly.

    I wouldn't mind seeing some classic soul too like The Spinners or Four Tops.

    A lot of that is Funk, not R&B.
    And yes, we could definitely use some George Clinton.
