yeah nice jam

got the 45 for Xmas one year
from one of my fav cousins...

I'll never forget that
I got a gang of 45s that year
MJ's "Bad" and Roger's "IWBYM"
are the only ones I vividly
remember going crazy over

I have the 45.

(that's a vinyl single to all you young whipper-snappers)

this song reminds me of Ramstein, AB (Frankfrut Germany) 1987....lol i loved this and his version of "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag"

I love this song. It reminds me so much of the good parts of my childhood.

I love how it's in the movie "Pootie Tang".

no worries

ok what's the difference ?

they sound the same ?

I wrote a thread about this song on here a few years ago. If I remember correctly, just a small few even posted saying that they liked it. It's good to see a little more responded this time. Maybe I should get who ever wrote this thread to front for me and then I could ghostwrite hiding behind them.

Check out this LIVE performance, with talkbox and everything!

I'll say a little bit here what I said on the thread I wrote about this song. This song's pre-chorus is better than MOST people's hooks. The vocal melody is sweet as fuck and then it has those beautiful tinkling keyboards underneath on the chorus. Bangin'.

I wouldn't go that far. Have you ever heard "Thrill Seekers"?

i love this whole album!!!!!

Other than Prince and his associates in the late 1980s, everyone else had lost their damn mind when making slow songs and was doing the adult contemporary route. "I Want To Be Your Man" by Roger was one of the very few good slow songs of the late 1980s.

I like that one.

There were probably some other good threads on the board during the time you made your thread and it may have gotten overlooked. However, look at all these damn Michael Jackson threads and threads on current artists on the board today. "I Want To Be Your Man" isn't one of my favorite Roger songs but the thread stands out on the board today in the middle of all these bullshit threads.

Did you like "As We Lay" by Shirley Murdock? I loved the song until it got played to death. I still can't believe that a Larry Troutman wrote that song.
