Debarge had some seriously cheesy uptempo songs, but their ballads are some of my favorites of the genre. Don't know that I'd consider I Like It a slow jam, but it's a good one.

"I'd rather be with you yeah.....girl, I'd rather be with you....."

It's gonna be a long night(hopefully)

SOME OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

"Cause I love you" by Lenny Williams
"If you want my loving" by Evelyn King
"There it is" by Shalamar
"Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes
"Lovely Day" by Bill Withers

BTW, out of curiosity, was it Aaron "Nasty Man" Hall who claimed R Kelly and Jodeci stole his style? Because I recall "Uncle" Charlie Wilson (of The Gap Band) saying they all modelled themselves on his vocal style and they were all "Charlie Wilson wannabes".
