Subject: RE: White R&B Hits
You got it right with the Rascals and the Righteous Brothers. You can add Hall and Oates and George Michaels to the "Blue Eyed Soul" boys.

Flipping through the book, I see that Dick Haymes... the sweetest of white crooners hit the R&B charts three times.

Only goes to show..

Elvis hit the R&B charts 35 times, by the way. And during the mid and late fifties, several white "doo Wop" groups made the R&B charts.
