I liked "Girl I Got My Eyes on You" best but I dig this. This was from the first "House Party" film soundtrack. nod

Love love love this song! love Brings back lots of great memories...

I'm with Timmy, though: "Girl I Got My Eyes on You" is my favorite Today song. Still, this, "I Got the Feeling," and "Him or Me" are all New Jack Swing classics. Their first album is pretty good as a whole.

That was my jam!

I wonder what happened to Big Bub's solo career. He put out one album and was never heard from again from what I remember.

Maybe I should clarify. A lot of the stuff Teddy, Gene, and a few others did hold up well, but some albums didn't. I just bought Abstrac's albuma and it didn't stand the test of time. Neither did a lot of lesser known groups.

I agree.Many of the New Jack swing songs sounded great in the late 80s/early 90s but I rarely listen to this stuff now.That music didn't age very well,imo.

Big Bub (the lead singer) had a few solo albums that were pretty good..... Didn't it always happen that way back then,that the groups were bulit around the one member with the most talent and the others were just hired hands?
