Who are some good old school r&b musicians?!

Here are my favorites (note: some of these musicians blur the lines between R&B, soul, funk, and other genres, but who cares!? it's the music that's important, not the label!.!.!.and the definitions of these genres are very fuzzy IMO)!.!.anyways, in no particular order:

Curtis Mayfield
James Brown
Sam Cooke
Ray Charles
Al Green
Marvin Gaye
Solomon Burke
Stevie Wonder
The Temptations
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Isaac Hayes
Aretha Franklin
Donny Hathaway
Otis Redding
Roberta Flack
Prince (not sure about the definition of "old" in "old school")
Parliament/Funkadelic
Sly & the Family StoneWww@Enter-QA@Com
