Rappers may be the most notorious for getting in trouble with the law these days, and country singers may have been the traditional rabble rousers in the days gone by, but R&B and Soul singers have gotten into their fair share of trouble with Johnny Law over the years too. From the late, great James Brown to British wild child Amy Winehouse to (almost) squeaky-clean good guy Ne-Yo, plenty of other artists who sing about love and happiness have learned what it's like to feel life behind bars, even if only for a short time. And this photo gallery is dedicated to some of the more - uh, interesting - mugshots of R&B/Soul singers from over the years.
