    Dunno all the stuff u listed but this is what I now at least about some of the artists in general in terms of musical styles (i won't comment of the actual released since i don't know them)

    BOB JAMES: I would classify him as a jazz funk artists
    JIM GILSTRAP: would probably fit in the disco category (i reckon this is from the "Swing Your Daddy" LP)
    RANCE ALLAN: Mainly does gospel, and is in fact still recording.
    SHIRLEY BROWN: I'd Put her in the Soul category
    JOHNNY HAMMOND: If it's the Hammond B3 guy, I'd put him Jazz funk as well.

    If I were you I'd try posting this same question at a classic soul forum. I have a feeling many of these are in that style, even though im not completely sure.
    try out www.soulfuldetroit.com
    There was life after disco!!

    Inner City Jam Band - "What I Did for Love"
    If the 45 is anything like the 12", definitely the disco column. :)

    Vic Damone is normally in the 'pop/standards' category. Don't know this title.
