For fans of Old School R&B slow jams,these CDs are essential.I bought every volume.There are some incredible songs on these CDS and many of them are hard-to-find elsewhere ("Magic Man" by Robert Winters and Fall,for example),but why did they stop? There are numerous other songs that could be used on future volumes.Some of these songs are obvious choices,some are rare,harder to find tracks....

"Best Of My Love" by T-Connection (1982)
"Livin' For Your Love" by Melba Moore (1984)
"I Just Love The Man" by the Jones Girls (1980)
"I Just Want To Satisfy You" by the Ojays (1982)
"Sparkle" by Cameo (1979)
"Close The Door" by Teddy Pendergrass (1978)
"Love Makin' Music" by Barry White (1980)
"Keepin' Love New" by Howard Johnson (1982)
"Off And On Love" by Champaign (1984)

what other songs can y'all come up with?

I just wanted to say my favorite existing volume of Smooth Grooves is this one:

Risin' to the Top ..... Keni Burke
Sugar Free ..... Juicy
Firestarter ..... Tease
Silver Shadow ..... Atlantic Starr
Slow Down ..... Loose Ends
Curious ..... Midnight Star
Who Do You Love ..... Bernard Wright
Come into My Life ..... Joyce Sims
Gotta Get You Home Tonight ..... Eugene Wilde
Don't Look Any Further ..... Dennis Edwards
Inside Out ..... Odyssey
Don't Say No (Tonight) ..... Eugene Wilde
Can You Treat Me Like She Does? ..... Real To Reel
Lollipop Luv ..... Bryan Loren
I Want to Be Your Man ..... Roger

I don't know!!!! I bought every one of those comps and now I can't find them anymore to replace the ones I lost. I love the Jazzy Soul ones, particularly the one with my fav version of Valentine Love on it.

Me too, Hobbitch

There's a budget label in the U.K. called Union Square Music whom release a lot of Rare Groove collections, under their "Sessions" imprint. You usually find them in the local supermarket and they're very, very good.

Here's the catalogue: http://www.unionsquaremus...LABEL_ID=6

They release a new collection at the rate of one a month. It's not all Rare Groove, but it's always urban music of some sort. A lot of the time, the (hard to find) extended 12" mixes are featured.
