It shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a host of vintage soulful scale balancers in the legacy of Rhythm & Blues. We’ve been blessed for decades with the diverse, regal talent of the second Venus Ruled sign. Surprisingly, there’s plenty of people that stood back from the spotlight to be songwriters, and background singers. Some of the most famous find their way into this list: Cissy Houston, Gloria Jones and P.P. Arnold to name a few.
Let the Autumn Breeze of the second sign delight you as daylight dwindles by the day. We’ve got just under 90 minutes of delights for you to plan decadence to.

Fascinating playlist. I can see I’m in for a Royal musical education whenever I visit here. I’m struck with just how staggeringly monumental the number of talented artists have been out there. It’s so unfortunate not all achieved a level of success their hard word entitled them to. Chubby Checker’s “Everything’s Wrong” is a revelation. The man was certainly more than a twist here, a twist there. Anita Humes is another surprise. You wish she had become a huge household name.
You create such fantastical musical journeys.
