80's R'n'B is Amazing I love me some 80's R'n'B. It is something that I can't put my hand on; the drums, keyboards don't know, but it just sounds good. Some of my favorite 80's tracks are.
The System - Don't Disturb This Groove Can You Help Me - Jesse Johnson Happy - Surface Love Is A Houase - Force MD's I Like - GUY I Want Her - Keith Sweat Digital Display - Ready For the World Ballad of Dorthy Parker - Prince Cherrelle - Saturday Love Who Do You Love - Bernard Wright Give It Up - The Jacksons I Don't Wanna Leave You - Time Color of Success - Morris Day Rock Wit'ha - Bobby Brown Watching You - Slave PRINCE: Always and Forever

I love practically all 1980s R&B from 1980-1984. After that, it gets pretty scarce for me.

Sheena Easton Donna Summer Ray Parker, Jr. and Raydio Newcleus The Jonzun Crew Soul Sonic Force Twilight 22 The Egyptian Lover Pretty Tony and Freestyle The Jacksons Michael Jackson Janet Jackson Kano Sun Chaka Khan One Way Maze The Chi-Lites The Temptations Smokey Robinson Diana Ross The Mary Jane Girls Glass Felix and Jarvis Jermaine Jackson Slave O'Bryan Junior Dynasty Cheri DeBarge The Isley Brothers Sunrize War Yarbrough and Peoples D Train Trouble Funk Taana Gardner Grace Jones Kool and the Gang Larry Graham Michael Henderson The SOS Band Stevie Wonder Xavier The Four Tops Evelyn King Carl Carlton Skyy War The Dazz Band Goodie Odyssey Tom Tom Club Kraftwerk Aretha Franklin Ashford and Simpson Atlantic Star Rene and Angela The Reddings The list goes on and on.....

more like late 70's and early 80's. Once Billy Ocean blew up with Suddenly in 1984 things took a turn for the worst. I'm not gonna front, When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going is one of my jams. | |

Besides "You're The One For Me", the only other D Train song I have is called "D Train".....get up on the funky D Train....and it's the dub version and the B Side to a 12 Inch I have of a kinda tired, midtempo song (I would have to dig through my stack to get the title of the A Side). When I saw the 12 Inch in the record store, back in the day, I bought it for the B Side. The song "D Train" is a hard, kicking, funky jam. D Train had an album but I never got around to buying it back then and now it's hard to find. I'd love to hear the rest of the tracks though. [Edited 3/3/05 1:07am] Andy is a four letter word. | |

[Edited 3/3/05 1:07am] D-Train were great  they had a couple of albums actually. If I remmber correctly I just own the Music album and a Best Of collection. Dang, I started a thread on D-Train a few weeks ago http://www.prince.org/msg/8/133864 ...that thread had as much impact as the last George Michael CD  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green.

ditto. I loved Keith Sweat, New Edition (heartbreak), Guy, Pebbles, Al B Sure!, Bobby Brown, Alexander O'Neil, Angela Winbush, and the list goes on and on. I don't know, but its just something about 80's R&B that gets me excited. It really inspires me, they just didn't sing about sex, they sung about real love, making love, independence (Pebbles' Mercedes Boy), how one spouse gets on their everlasting nerves (Alexander O'Neil's Criticize) and day dreaming in class while in high school (Troop's All I do is think of you). Gosh what memories.... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Gosh what memories.... I actually have a lot more of that music than newer music. It gets me going, I dance my ass off to it, dream when I listen to it, think about happy times in the past when I listen to it (not that I live in the past), chill out while listening to it - it's all good. And yes, it wasn't all vulgar -talking about smackin' that ass, etc, etc. You get get your groove on with your honey without hearing someone talk about "Spread em, beeyotch!" | |
