Artist that sound like other artists...

[Craig]

I just heard that Avant remix of his single, and I just can't help to think of how much he sounds, acts, and even ad-libs like R. Kelly. How can artists get away with stuff like this nowadays? Bro sounds just like him!



What are some other artists that you be like, "He/She sounds just like..."

Holla back. I know it's mo' artists out there like that...

there are a few artists these days who wanna sound like DONNY HATHAWAY
STEVIE WONDER
or MARVIN GAYE


its ok by me but the artist has to develop his or her own style and not being a copycat or 'somebody- who wanna sound like'
ya know wha i mean

examples in the music biz are enough

ok we have a drummer called DAVE WECKL world wide famous he does play on everybodys records
but
now ya hear lots of cats wanna sound like him but they forget where he got his sound from
and thats from STEVE GADD and if ya go back further he got his chops from other drummers from the past
these two names i just mention did copy those peeps but have develop their own signature with their playing so they dont sound like a copycat or a bad immitator they sound like them self (but ya hear where they come from)
and it got SOUL and it comes FROM THE HEART
thats the same with singing

another example withe another instrument
the world famous DAVID SANBORN
He has been copy a lot by his sound
but he himself was influenced by the GREAT HANK CRAWFORD
and HANK got his influences from someone else
and that goes on and on

Now I love me some Glenn Lewis, but everybody know he sounds just like Stevie Wonder.
