Slow Jam of the Day: "Oh Honey" by Delegation On Friday, I bought one of the "Smooth Grooves" compilations so I could get "Slow Dancin" by Chaka Khan and Rick James. As I was checking out the other songs on the CD, I came across a slow jam I had completely forgotten about...."Oh Honey" by Delegation. This was one of my favorite slow jams.
Anybody into this one? Andy is a four letter word. | |

When I get lost, feel I’ve been crossed, She will be my salvation When I feel low, I’ve nowhere to go, She’ll be my inspiration  "Say I'm lookin' at you, from the corner of my eye..."  | |

This song sounds like the Floaters "Float On" or is it the other way 'round.

[b]I used to have this 45. It was a great record.
You know when I listen to a song like this, I immediately notice the difference in the lyrics back then and the lyrics of today. Songwriters used to work to make the feelings they convey concise and all encompassing. Now, songs tend to be overly descriptive and deal with specific instances rather than whole ideas. "When my poor heart is breaking apart, she'll put it back together" and "When she arrives and stands by my side; makes me so proud to know her" are simple yet concise lines that convey a complete idea. It seems like most of the younger songwriters of today would rather take the long route to say the same thing IF they even say something like this. Nowadays R&B is full of apologies for wrongdoings rather than professions of love, unity and faithfulness. | |

Maybe it's the very fact that they are young. They probably have no true concept of long-term love, let alone how to express it accurately. tA Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 GOOD POINT, TA!!! Most of our R&B heroes were grown folk; now its like American Idol - you can't be over 25. | |

I  that song. It gets lots of airplay in the Bay Area. Even though I don't listen to the radio regularly, somehow I'm always hearing the ending of the song, and that makes me  . I want to hear it in it's entirety.
Fave lines: Now I just like to thank you baby For giving me a brand new start I was going down, you saved me When you let me in Your loving heart, yeah "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

I have that CD,too  I actually have all the Smooth Grooves CDs,but that particular volume (#9) is excellent:
SMOOTH GROOVES VOLUME 9 Real Love by Skyy A Penny For Your Thoughts by Tavares Golden Touch by Rose Royce Remind Me by Patrice Rushen Computer Love by Zapp (extended version) Slow Dancin' by Chaka Khan and Rick James Something's On Your Mind by D-Train Time Will Tell by Tower Of Power Your Love Is Rated X by Johnnie Taylor Oh Honey by Delegation (12" mix) Sexy Mama by the Moments Remember The Rain by The 21st Century not a bad song in the bunch and several of these songs are hard to find.I wish that Rhino would continue this series. | |

I don't think I've heard "You and Me". If it's anything like "I Believe In Love", then it's a great slow jam. Those are great compilations though. I have a few of the earlier ones.
