Donny,

I think what Gary is referring to is the unnecessary vocal gymnastics. e.g.

you...ooh....ooh......uh

This type of singing is pretty common in the modern Rhythm and Blues genre, which is nothing like the Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Stevie Winwood R&B that we grew up with.

Can you imagine the great singers of our day singing ly.....ah.....ah......uh...ike that?

God Bless,
Don
