I like all the slow ones from Prince's 2nd album - Still Waiting, When We're Dancing... and It's Gonna Be Lonely are all great.

horns awwww man, these are the cuts right here, especially "there'll never be" and "reasons". it's weird, because the live versions of "reasons" and "devotion" off of gratitude are the ones i grew up with and i'd never heard the studio versions till much later. i prefer the live ones to the studio-made ones still. nod

Those are two of the greatest groups when it comes to slow jams. Also, check out Blue Magic....very similar sounding.

I love Deniece Williams, but oddly enough, i don`t like "free"
"Silly of me" is my favorite by her. Niecy sounds like an angel cloud9

Another great vocalist. I know it`s not a slow song, but i think his version of "Don`t leave me this way" is amazing, just as good as the original.
What do you all think of his philadelphia albums?

His 1978 album 'Life Is A Song Worth Singing' is a masterpiece.I once devoted a thread to it...."It Don't Hurt Now" and "When Somebody Loves You Back" are my favs.
