Timeless and peerless.

If this song doesn't get you right in the ol' heartstrings, call the morgue.

... Ebony Eyes, I Want To Be Your Man, Very Yes, We're Goin' Out Tonight, Love's Train, Crucial... off the top of my head

Ooh, Love's Train is a good one. The horninest you feel when you can't be with the one you want to at that moment, the anticipation of feeling that person's..... I'm not alone, am I?

Romera said:

I hope you're not...

its playing on my nifty ipod as we speak

Romera said:

warm night
lady
wants her baby
so she calls him up...

I go through periods where this song stays on repeat.

FunkMistress said:

And if by chance, you let me come ovah.....Michael Cooper messes me up on that song.

Romera said:

Seriously. One of the most overlooked vocal performances in 80s R&B.

Just thought of another:

"Knocks Me Off My Feet" by Stevie Wonder

I don't want to bore you with it
Oh, but I love you, I love you, I love you

Just gorgeous.

FunkMistress said:

And I do love you.

Romera said:

More and more...

Is that a friendship hug?

i love this stevie wonder song


seems so long

Lady love and lady cared
but lady went away,
And left me all alone to suffer.

And now I feel it's not fair
for me to fall in love
The truth is the real me you must uncover.

Seems so long, since I've heard the sound
It's been so long, since I've trusted in someone else,
Had to see it all for myself,
It's been so long, that the world seems cold,
But I think it's time in my life to find myself again.

Lady loved and lady stayed,
Until she was too pleased
She knew I wouldn't leave for her to suffer.
I'd never make her suffer.

Now I believe you're just like me,
In that you understand,
And want me for your man to always love me.

You can believe it's seems so long, since I've touched a wanting hand
Oh, it seems so long, since I've trusted in someone else,
Had to see this world for myself,
And it's been so long that the world seems cold,
Now I think I've found someone to make me trust in someone again.

I believe that I can trust in you.

Romera said:

yeah thats a good one too. i got the acapella version too.

Romera said:

Ah! I knew I loved you for a reason. Other than your sweet that is.

Romera said:

It's a great song, isn't it? I still think of the Steve Harvey sing-along from Kings of Comedy.

RipHer2Shreds said:

That made me fall in love with that song all over again.

Does anyone here like NICOs version of "My Funny Valentine"? I love that song.

At this time I like these VERY much:
Curtis Mayfield - "The Makings Of You"
Stevie Wonder - "Overjoyed", "Joy Inside My Tears"

Btw, I'd like to mention Carla Bruni (the former model, now a chansonier), and her first album (I thinkt the only one she released so far): Quelqu'un M'a Dit

Y'all are wrong. If you don't dig "Ribbon In The Sky," the terrorists win.
