Has this song already been discussed?

You'll have to excuse me but I just discovered it recently and love it to pieces.

A few questions....

1. Who is the featured female vocalist on the track?
2. Was the song a Pop or R&B hit?

and finally...

3. Can someone recommend me more songs like this??

1. Lisa Keith

2. US: 70 UK: 4

3. Look into Jam and Lewis work with Alexander O'N, The SOS Band, Janet Jackson, Cherelle.

I know it had to have been a bigger hit on R&B radio than #70 on Pop Charts only.

yo, critize was the jam!

maybe you should also check out colonel abrahms! i think
he may have had a similar style, though his stuff was a little more
house-y.

that's my fav song by alex

"don't criticize my friends, don't criticize my life style"!!!...."i'm fed up cuz all you wanna do is criticize"

Like somebody else said, check out any of the stuff Jam & Lewis produced for SOS Band. It has a similar sound and is some of their best work. If you like that song of Alexander O'Neal's, try the album it came from, Hearsay, or better yet, his album All True Man. That one has some great tunes on it. It's more difficult to find on CD than is Hearsay, but you should enjoy either one.

just heard it on the radio yesterday ! in glasgow , got me thinkin alex was great !!! get anything he did in the 80's early 90's u wont be dissapointed !

Hey guys - Thanks for all the feedback! I've ordered Alexander's "Greatest Hits" (a 10 song collection) off BMG Music Service. Same with Cherelle and SOS Band.

I went to my local record stores and couldn't find any of their albums in the R&B section, therefore, I decided to search BMG Music and voila! Finally, a record club comes through...

PaisleyPark4 - That 4 Disc collections sounds just amazing! Where can I buy a copy??

Hmm, Lisa Keith never really did get her due, did she?

Hey VoicesCarry - Does Lisa Keith have a GH too?

Oooh! That looks like a very nice collection! It was released in 2004!

Darn...I already ordered the 10 song 1995 Greatest Hits release. Oh well.

BTW, does anyone know what other work has Lisa Keith done with Jam & Lewis aside from "Criticize" and "Making Love In The Rain"?

Ahh . . . Alexander Nevermind.

I love this guy's voice. My favorie song is "If You Were Here Tonight", but the video for it is funny as hell. He wore make up, and did his best Prince impression.
