A Viewer's Suggestion:
Apart from those already mentioned...early Rolling Stones would count as R&B. Otis Redding, anything from the film "The Blues Brothers", Wilson Pickett, Smokey Robinson (you should be able to do something with Tracks of My Tears, Mith...)
Oh and the fact that such fine performers as we've seen on this programme were so reluctant to cover great singers like Ella, Billie, Sarah Vaughan etc, or to pastiche the songwriting genius of Cole Porter and Gershwin, was really very disappointing. *shakes head*
