I was inspired by Iaintheone's thread, and decided to post some slow jams... you know the "Blue Light" in the basement slow jams, from those basement house parties, sometime you used a green or red light bulb, when you couldn't find a blue one. Some parties had yellow light bulbs, and that was only used so parents could keep an eye on the young ones, to make sure no hanky panky was going on. (thumbs up for the parents though ). Anyway, so here's some goldies from the oldies era.

How I wish we had music like this again...somebody better bring them back! Post your favorite slow jam!
