Where is the current music with the QUALITY of.....

[Gray]

...the Philadelphia International record label of the mid 70s?
The equivalent vocal qualities of Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Jean Carne and Loleatta Holloway?
The tuneful, real instrument playing talent of M.F.S.B./The Salsoul Orchestra?

Where can I go to find the modern equivalent of such talent?
I put it to you all that I can't go anywhere.

Honestly, I hear so much talk about great new music discovery.
But the new stuff I hear is weak and pathetically poor.

If you know and really appreciate the stuff I mentioned in the first paragraph (real instruments, played tunefully by real musicians)......help me out here 🤔

Some years ago, early 2000´s found some Lp´s that were from unknown bands , i´m not sure but i think highschool bands were refered, on spotify you can search the band you refer in the end and more of the same style will appear, also a fan of late 60´s early 70´s funk bands or big bands, the cd version is not so good sounding or detailed, I refer Spotify as when i had it first, i found a lot of great bands that the recordings existed but no one knew who had recorded them

Music tastes change, and what one person finds to be quality, is another persons rubbish, it all comes down to personal preference.
Also what is the definition of a real instrument, as many new instruments have been developed over time that operate completely differently to older instrument.
