We all have them: singers whom we love, but whom others either don't know about or don't care for. Some artists, despite being bright, creative, talented and many other positives, just don't get the love or recognition that they deserve from the masses. And we all know that commercial success doesn't necessarily equal quality work, so with that in mind, this list is dedicated to the underappreciated R&B/Soul artists like Meshell Ndegeocello, Dave Hollister, Lizz Wright, Rahsaan Patterson and others who may not be big on the charts, but definitely are in our hearts.

I totally appreciate every one of these artists and own most of the music they have released. Rahsaan Patterson is a favorite – love the his new holiday CD, “Utlimate Gift”.
Two others for this list are Maysa & Raheem DeVaughn, imo.
Raheem DeVaughn should be on the list, definitely.
