Does anyone know any good R&B ballads from the 1960's. I want some in the vein of:

Gene Chandler - "Just Be True" "The Girl Don't Care"
Delfonics - "Hey Love" "Ready Or Not""
Five Stairsteps - "Come Back" and "Love's Happening"
The Miracles - "Ooh Baby Baby"
James and Bobby Purify - "I'm Your Puppet"
Intruders - "Cowboys to Girls" and "Together"
Dells - "Stay in my Corner"


Stuff like that, I love those soul arrangements with the orchestra's, zylapnones, bells, guitar plucks and what not.


Thanks in advance.

Got anyu other suggestions?

There used to be a great 2 volume compilation called "Hey Love" that had a lot of great slow jams from the 1960s and 1970s. You may remember the television commercial for it from back in the day. It had two guys talking at the end of the commercial.....

Hey man, that's a great album.....lemme borrow it....
No my brother, YOU'VE gotta get your own....

I don't know if this one is from the 1960s or 1970s but it is called "I Destroyed Your Love" by.....damn my mind went blank, I can't think of who sings it.

Oops, that one is from the 1970s. It's by Special Delivery.

But those R&B Ballads from back in the 60's were so smooth. Most of them seem to be Chicago/Phily/New York groups/artist.

That commercial first came out in the early 1980s and it was a double album that you could only order off the TV. In the 2000s, I saw it on CD in the record stores. They broke it down on two CDs and sold them separately. I bought the first volume and went back for the second volume and it was gone.

The volume I have has "La La Means I Love You" by The Delfonics and "Have You Seen Her" by The Chi-Lites. It also has a song by The Dells that I can't think of at this moment. There's "Yes, I'm Ready" by a female in the 1960s (I can't think of her name). I'm at work so I can't pull the CD and list the tracks. I have searched the internet looking for the album so I could post the picture and tracks but I can't find it anywhere on the web.
