i mean, c'mon. isn't this the best R&B song of the last 25 years?

sooooo good.

I love "Tears" even better. That classic cut was played at every house party in my youth. When that song came on, it was "slow grindin' time"

yeah buddy, its one of the most beloved songs of the last 25 years. from 1st loves 2 1st x's "tender love" has covered the water front. and its the 1st jam & and lewis production that u can't tell they touched. lol

Thats my song!! I grew up of this song.Timeless classic for real.

NorthernLad said:

Yep.. nothin like it (perhaps some pale imitations)

I like that song. Very cool.

Jimmy Jam sure hit a groove on the piano with that song. Excellent work probably his best.

Yes he sure did.... beautiful piano on this track.

This is one of those songs that everytime I hear it, I'm back in High School in my two-tone Lee jeans and Addidas with the fat laces.

Its a good song, but it seems it holds nostalgia for alot of u, something like chukki bookers "turned away" is miles better though.

"turned away" is most definitley off the hook especially the keys and that guitar solo....

angela74 said:

I've felt that way before too. The title says it all. There need to be more love songs just like it.

There are a few Force MDs slow jam cds that are available. I would definately pick those up if you are a fan.

turned away is one of my fav songs ever

Ever seen the video? Not much really, but its so 80's its great nostalgia.


"turned away" is reflective, good to dance too, has a great breakdown, seering guitar solo, dreamy backing vox, what else do u need?

thesexofit said:

I love the ending where the chorus just repeats and he just blows like he in the wind "a hooooo.."

NorthernLad said:

didn't sheila give up her cookies to this song in krush groove?

Somebody's Cryin' and Love Is A House are another good slow jam by the FORCE.

it sounds like a song you'd lose your virginity to. i can't listen to it because i'm single and don't have anybody to give any tender loving to.
