Baby Bring Your Sweet Stuff Home To Me!!!!

All Day Suck-ka-ka Fo' Ya Love

too high is extremely timeless

I can hear where people like glenn lewis and musiq soulchild get their influence

Contusion

Yeah "Contusion" is a killer. Those drums drive me bananas, lol.

For me, some of his overlooked ones:

For Once In My Life
My Eyes Don't Cry
Spiritual Walkers
Please Don't Hurt My Baby

Check out "Sugar" from the same album, the drums on that mofo are sick and the bass is outta sight.

the second half/response to "Ordinary Pain"
is DANGEROUSLY funky to me

I'll also list
"Reasons" from here:

and
"Tell Me Something Good" from here:

DirtyChris said:

Oooh nice choices. I can really hear the stevie influence on that album; its like he got into another style of composing when it came to working with others.

and Ordinary Pain; Kimberly Brewer really tore up that second half. Don't cross that woman

CoolTarik1 said:

does Shirley have a sister?
or is Kimberly her real mame?

a lil bird told me
Chaka Khan was supposed to
record the response part
but she was too stoned

DirtyChris said:

You know, I'm not sure; I know Kimberly is a backup singer from his current tour, and they did songs together from Jungle Fever: "If She Breaks Your Heart" and duetted on "I Love You More" and the last names are the same, so I figured its the same person. But the liner notes for Ordinary Pain does say "Shirley Brewer"

CoolTarik1 said:

oh cool!!!

yeah Shirley is the chick on our far right
with the half-afro & glasses

I was told that Shirley and Kimberly were Mother and Daughter. Not quite sure, though.

I've never ever considered Stevie funky.....

Graycap23 said:

That's quite possibly the most shocking thing I've ever read from you!

"Fine Young Thing (You Are Too Much For Me)"

unreleased

The one in the clip is Kimberly Brewer the one on the record is Shirley....Both great. Man Stevie is super funky if he wants to be.

AlexdeParis said:

Steve is funk lite at best.....

Graycap23 said:

I actually agree, Stevie doesn't throw down that often, but when he does, its his own unique brand of funk. Stevie is really a master of crafting a pop song with elements of whatever musical style hes into; see Masterblaster(Jammin') for proof.

DirtyChris said:

Hes also did a track called "Think I'm on The Right Track" which is some slow stomping funk, though also unreleased.

Adding:

Keep On Running

Graycap23 said:

There's nothing "lite" about Stevie's funk. He isn't James or George, but he could be funky whenever he wanted.

Graycap23 said:

Is this song funk-lite?

Love Having You Around:

Timmy84 said:

Love that one. It's funny to pay attention to the talk box in that song. I only know of one or two shows where he did it live unfortunately.

Timmy84 said:

In a word.....yes.

NMuzakNSoul said:

Graycap23 said:
