Well welcome to the party...
Andy and I talked about these guys some time ago and we were by our lonesome.

I did say might.

Ten City - That's The Way Love Is

http://www.youtube.com/wa...7RRWC1KM9I

Thank you darlin'. I love you too.

Great choices. You ain't lying either. My ex neice in law (is there such a thing)....my sister's ex husband's daughter from a previous marriage ....I remember augueing with her in the 1990s. She thought that Shitney Houston originally recorded "I Will Always Love You" and that MC Hammer came up with the melody and played all the instruments on "U Can't Touch This".

Great choices and you get extra points for being familiar with Ebonee Webb. I love the hell out of those guys and can't stop recommending them to people.

I ain't got time for playin' no games
Cause if I have to.....
I'll play with myself
You'd better stop foolin' around
Cause I'm gonna give my love....
To someone else

Don't waste my
Don't you waste my
Don't waste my
Don't you waste my time

Hell yeah.

Great choices. And I mainly remember "Let Me Entertain You" by The Controllers. I recently found out that another song I love is by them...."Street Life". All these years, I had thought that song was by a female named Randy Crawford. Last weekend I was playing my "Tom Joyner Morning Mix" CD part 2 and noticed the name of the group on the back of the CD. No wonder I've never seen "Street Life" in the Randy Crawford section of the record store.

Hell yeah. Anything by the big 3....Prince, Rick James, or The Barkays....and you can't go wrong.....unless it's something from that embarrasing new Rick James CD.

I love some slow jams. However, I hate 99% of that adult contemporary Shitney Houston influenced stuff that came out after 1985. My favorite slow jams are ones like these.....

Always and Forever - Heatwave
There'll Never Be - Switch
Reasons (Live Version) - Earth, Wind, and Fire
La La Means I Love You - The Delfonics
Sparkle - Cameo
It's You That I Need - Enchantment
I Destroyed Your Love - Terry Huff and Special Delivery
Just Don't Want To Be Lonely - The Main Ingredient
Be My Girl - The Dramatics
You Make Me Feel Brand New - The Stylistics
Stop To Start All Over Again - Blue Magic
Sensuality - The Isley Brothers
Float On - The Floaters
You Are My Starship - Norman Conners
Hollywood - Rick James
A Love Of Your Own - Average White Band
Baby Come Back - Player
Who's Sad - Smokey Robinson
Too Lonely To Be Alone - Kwick
Don't Be Lonely - Sho-Nuff
Say Yes - Lakeside
When We Get Married - Larry Graham
Spend My Whole Life - Zapp
Something In The Past - One Way
We Go A Long Way Back - Bloodstone
It's Been Such A Long Time - New Birth
Love Won't Let Me Wait - Major Harris
Do Me, Baby - Prince
Feel Me - Cameo
Make Love To Me - Rick James
Feels Like I'm Falling In Love - The Barkays

That's just a few.

Is that the same Ten City that made the song "U Need Dick In Your Life"?

one of my favourites for you...click the pic

2 more

I'm not clicking that pic and having my computer to freeze up. I can recognize from here though. It's Yarbrough and People's with that scarf around her head. "Don't Stop The Music". Yeah, that's a great one.

then should i just tell you the other 2?

Didn't know The Controllers had a version of that tune.

The popular version in '79 featuring Randy Crawford's vocal was from the album...



...Street Life by The Crusaders

OK. So is it strictly listed as being by The Controllers but only featuring Randy Crawford? I knew I recognized her voice. That would explain why I haven't seen it listed under her name.

EDIT

Wait a minute TA, I got all mixed up. I just noticed it's The Crusaders and not The Controllers. I got the two mixed up with each other.

Yeah, who are they? Those pictures are sooooo small. From the hairstyles, they look like they are from the late 1980s. The lady in the first picture looks like she could be either Stacy Lattisaw from the late 80s or maybe the lady from Starpoint. In the second picture, it looks a little like Sheila E. but who the hell are those two male dancers beside her.

vainandy said:

The Crusaders featuring Randy Crawford probably.

But when looking for it in a record store, look strictly for The Crusaders.

Stacy Lattisaw ~ "Nail It To The Wall"

Five Star ~ "Let Me Be The One"


i was trying to find something of Stacy's "with you" album. God i love that album. and Five Star will always be one of my favourite top 3 groups. LOL wasn't sure if you liked either but hey, it's a dedication thread.

I just noticed my mistake and went back and edited my post at the same time you were typing your new post. I had The Crusaders mixed up with The Controllers.

Well, I be damn. I've got a good eye. I thought that might be Stacy Lattisaw in that little picture. She looked totally different in the late 80s when she was all grown up.




That was a great album. My alltime favorite Stacy Lattisaw song "Feel My Love Tonight" is on that album.

You will probably have a hard time finding R&B videos from the early 80s because pop groups were the majority of the ones making videos back then. BET wasn't widely available until the late 80s and "Friday Night Videos" and "Night Tracks" was the only ones that would give R&B artists the time of day. MTV only played Michael Jackson or Prince but no one else. In the mid 80s "New York Hot Tracks" did a lot to promote R&B videos, moreso than anyone else.



I liked Five Star a little bit (mainly their 12 Inch versions). I never really got into them enough to buy any of their music though.

Here goes some CAMEO funk Vain:

Flirt
http://www.youtube.com/wa...78TpOMgq44

Hell yeah. That's back when Cameo was really throwin' down.

The Jackson 5ive-Body Language
ADC Band-Funk on Fire
Bar Kays-Shake Your Rump To The Funk
Dazz Band-Swoop
Five Star-All Fall Down
Jermaine Stewart-The Word Is Out
Michael Jackson-Workin Day And Night
Morris Day-Fishnet

Whaddap Andy..*DAPS*....you must be from the country like me..S. Carolina...and if you are you gotta remember the band called STONE and their hit called TIME from back in tha day.....

Those are some good ones.

I'm from The South down in Mississippi. I live in Jackson which isn't the country but there are a lot of country motherfuckers here....especially in the surrounding towns.....geri curl juice still drips in those areas.

I'm not familiar with Stone.

Hot stage lights and If I take you home: Van Hunt
Freaky dancin: Cameo
Throwdown: Rick James

And you will just love this clip
