If you trying to represent each generation from like the 80s - 10’s, then yes. Otherwise there’s clearly a lot of ways a mt Rushmore can go depending on what you value. IMO, Mike, Usher and Kellz are probably on all versions of mine
Some notable names that need to be considered before Chris Brown is even thought of.
Teddy Pendergrass
Luther Vandross
Stevie Wonder
Marvin Gaye
Are we keeping MJ as R&B? Because if MJ is put in there then Prince has to show up too.

Dudes only going as far back as the 60's but no one mentioned the hit maker who was adored by Black and white fans, Nat King Cole.

All 4 of them are head and shoulders over CB IMO.
Do y'all nikkas not see that's Maxwell, not Chris Brown ?
Also Michael Jackson is not R&B...he shouldn't be there
Technically MJ is R&B
He's been multiple genres throughout his carer. Off the wall was technically a disco album
He did mostly funk when he was in the jackson 5.
Dangerous was a borderline punk rock pop album.
He's not really tied to a single label
Ty Daniels
Superstar
Can’t speak on his character but RKelly should be there as well.

I'm a older cat R Kelly when he originally came out was an Aaron Hall clone, wasn't a really good singer.
He has gotten better over the years.
I listen to Singers that are Top-Notch
- Luther
- Stevie
- Anita
- Brian McKnight
- Commissioned
- Boyz II Men
- ETC...
There are WAY too many R&B singers both Male and Female that would blow R Kelly out the water with ability.
If we are just measuring it on popular success, sure.
But on Vocal talent/agility/ability It's gonna be a NO
I don't know breh, the ai algorithm may have fukked up the face but that's Breezy no doubtDo y'all nikkas not see that's Maxwell, not Chris Brown ?
You're right but he fundamentally an R&B artist. All of his albums have 100% R&B singles.. multiple R&B singles. He's won award as an R&B artist.
Smokey Robinson
Babyface
R. Kelly
Bryson Tiller
I know I'm gonna be tar'd and feathered for the last person, but hear me out about Bryson Tiller, arguably the most influential R&B artist of all time and undeniably most influential since Kellz. Like it or not, in 2025 we all hear it.
