Laugher in the Rain, by Neil Sedaka, love that ewwwww part he does.

Any ballad by Bread. Those mushy guys really could do a good tune.

Ben, by Michael Jackson. Nothing like a sweet love song to a rat.

You know those AM Gold discs for the 70s aren't so bad, but they are mostly "lite".

Some of the most melodic and lyrical songs are "lite" though.

Paula Abdul's Rush Rush

PricelessHo said:

Don't bullshit, by "lite" you mean that dirtiest of dirty words, MOR LOL.


A good thread though, meaning some of you do like MOR after all. Shame most of you like the 70's stuff, which I think is dull and too much like background music.

And the 90s crap you like is like rough toilet paper.

DirtyChris said:

Patti Austin is all over that

Roberta Flack - Feels Like Making Love
Kashif - Help yourself to my love
Stevie Wonder - You've got it bad girl
Sly & The Family Stone - Family Affair(Trippy more like, not lite)
Rene & Angela - Imaginary Playmates

Harlepolis said:

I like the Marlena Shaw remake of this one. Roberta's version is much better, but hers is nice as well.

RipHer2Shreds said:

This was covered many times. Marlena, George Benson and D'Angelo(which was the 1st version I heard, it was originally planned as a duet with Lauryn Hill - but she turned it down).

More tunes:

Chaka Khan - Night Moods
MJ - Can't Help It
Patrice Rushen's WHOLE RnB debut album.
Syreeta - I Love Everything About You
Minnie Riperton- Simple Things
Mary Jane Girls - All Night Long
Rick James - Mary Jane
Teena Marie- Oh La La La
Prince - My Love Is Forever
Aretha Franklin - Day Dreaming
Madonna - Physical Attraction
Mtume - Juicy Fruit

Harlepolis said:

I understand why you picked this one from a musical standpoint...

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you'd just love to burn
Mom loves the both of them
You see it's in the blood
Both kids are good to Mom
'Blood's thicker than the mud'
It's a family affair

Newlywed a year ago
But you're still checking each other out
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out
You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there
But you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else
You can't cry, 'cause you'll look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're are broke down

It's a family affair

...but the lyrical content is anything but "Lite".
(as you indicated in a sense)

I crack up everytime I hear that line, esp considering the way Sly sang it

But yeah, I don't think its lite either thing is, I pay more to the music than to lyrics,,,it takes me a lil' bit of time to get into the lyrical content esp with all of my attention to the musical production.

Gino Vanelli - Wild Horses

RipHer2Shreds said:

Nah, not much 90's MOR about really. Its all well and good having great session musicians on tracks people have mentioned, but the songs are still MOR
