Nope. I did. Check post #10.


My bad, DD5050. Thought I looked pretty thoroughly, but I obviously missed it. Good call and great selection.

thumbs up! It's cool! Hell, that song springs immediately to mind whenever I hear the term "slow jam". Babyface wrote that song and he's a master of the slow jam too! nod Has anyone mentioned him yet? "Whip Appeal"...

How the heck can you have a thread entitled "Greatest Slow Jams" and no one mentions "Slow Jam" by Midnight Star?!? That is THE slow jam.


Monica and Usher anyone?

Awesome list! I love all your picks especially Aaliyah and New Edition, but my favorite Mario song is this one:

As much as I like Monica and try to stomach Usher, NOTHING beats the original!!

I could give you like 50 at least that I absolutely love. I'll try to narrow it down to 15, but I'll sort them by artist and not preference wink
AND I won't include Prince, since this is the Non-Prince section. Plus, he would make up at least half the list, so it'd be pretty unfair lol
And I'll go with the 'bump & grind' approach to slow jam, not ballad.
So much for the footnotes... here we go.

Cupid - 112
One in a million - Aaliyah
Don't Leave Me - Blackstreet
5 Miles to empty - Brownstone
How 'bout us - Champaign
So Good - Davina
Brown Sugar - D'Angelo
Whatever - En Vogue
Got 'til it's gone - Janet Jackson
Show me - John Legend
I belong to you - Lenny Kravitz
All of my days - R. Kelly ft. Changing Faces
No ordinary love - Sade
Cherish the day - Sade
Morning Fun - Vikter Duplaix

I'm talking about the remake with Monica and Usher. Face produced that one and wrote another verse for the bridge.

Only the Performance Version to me is worthy of mention. I never cared that much for the album version.

Now, if this don't make you think twice about creepin, I don't know...

What was the jam by the guy from Tower of Power? My Alzheimers has kicked in, and I got a case of the the CRS disease. Help me out, people!

Two more I forgot about, and most of you won't know theses songs. You've got to be kinda long in the tooth to remember:

There Goes My Baby by the Drifters
(I've love this song since I was 9 years old.)
For Your Precious Love Jerry Butler
