white women in R&B ......No success .

[badbear]

i remember this lady when i was a kid early 90's . she was the only white singer hanging out with black folks all the time. turns out she's from the uk.
and yeah i had a lil crush.

good one .....she def has a soulful voice .....but it kinda proves my point . she doesn't get the attention of a Britany spears,celine dion etc
i think if she started making pop music, she would get more attention.....but i understand why she wouldn't ....i'm guessing she loves soul music and is happy were
she is. and she makes good enough money.

She has more cred than Amy Winehouse.

Contrary to the title of this thread there are a few white female artists who has had some success in the r&b market. Beside obviously Teena Marie, Sheena Easton and Lisa Stansfield have also had big songs in the r&b market.

Here is a list of white female artists who has had a top ten song on the r&b charts.

Ella Mae Morse (Shoo Shoo Baby #1, Buzz Me#2)
Dodie Stevens (Pink Shoe Laces#5)
Connie Stevens (Sixteen Reasons#10)
Lesley Gore (It's My Party#1, Judy's Turn To Cry#10)
Little Peggy March (I Will Follow Him#1)
Lulu (To Sir With Love#9)
Madonna (Like A Virgin#9)
Sheena Easton (Sugar Walls#3, The Lover In Me#5)
Lisa Stansfield (All Around The World#1, You Can't Deny It#1, All Woman #1)
Tara Kemp (Hold You Tight#4)
Good2Go (Never Satisfied#10), white female quintet
Gwen Stefani (Hollaback Girl#8)
Celine Dion (I'm Your Angel#5 duet with R. Kelly)
Iggy Azalea(Fancy#1 featuring Charli XCX, Black Widow#1 featuring Rita Ora)

Since Teena Marie is THE standard among white female r&b artists I decided not to list her hits here.

Another couple of artists that would fit this topic are Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.

Some are those artists dated or even married brothers.

I missed that Amy Winehouse. The video sucked because homeboy ignored such a hot dish.
