Soul, R&B Setlist?

Slugbaby,
 
Your request is a bit open-ended...specific timeframe (e.g, 60's)?  I'll take a stab nonetheless. In some cases, one-hit wonders. Overall, just good old R&B songs (for the most part):
 
Bobby Day “Over and Over”
Bobby Womack “Lookin’ For Love”
Brenton Wood “Gimme Little Sign”
Brenton Wood “Oogum Boogum Song”
Clyde McPhatter “Lover Please"
The Commodores “Nightshift”
The Drifters “Fools Fall In Love”
Jackie Wilson “Baby Workout”
O’jays “Use To Be My Girl”
Roy Hamilton “Don’t Let Go”
Shirelles “Mama Said”
Miracles "Mickey's Monkey"
Elvis Presley "Such A Night"
Gregory Abbott "Shake You Down"
 
Good luck with the race.

it was open-ended on purpose.
My focus has been on 60s/early 70s.  
There have been a couple of great musicians in the last decade, Raphael Saadiq & Julian Taylor come to mind.  Mostly just looking for things that may have overlooked, or that others love.
 
I've realized that I get pretty judgmental about music - one little thing can put me off and then I end up writing off the band for life.  Decades later, I can't remember WHY i disliked them, just that I DID.  Pickett for example - I heard Mustang Sally so damned often in my teens that it turned me off him completely.  It's only recently that I got turned on to him again.  What else did i miss?????
 
PS.  Ken & Randy, thanks for the suggestions so far!

Yeah, James already mentioned them, but I was going to say Brothers Johnson (Strawberry Letter 23).  Gosh, so many!  Gotta run or I'd add more.

I always loved Aretha Franklin's version of "Suspicious Minds" I used to have on an old Atlantic sampler LP.

I am trying to remember the other tracks and artists. Funky Nassau and Spanish Harlem come to mind.

It's probably too late for your trip, but I used to have an album that one of my older brothers bought in Germany, "The Unequaled Equals". Some cool rock and soul stuff I played regularly back in the 1970s. I might be remembering through rose-colored hearing aids, but I liked them.
Since the record was purchased in Germany, they might be a European band not easily found in the States. And I'm not sure if the band is The Unequaled Equals or just the Equals.

There was a '60s band called The Equals. Eddy Grant was the singer, he had a few '80s hits over here.

Heh, I remember Electric Avenue!

That's them! I'll have to look up the Clash's cover of their song "Police On My Back".
