Am I the only person surprise that Vainandy hasn't posted in this thread yet? I would figure that he would have some one-liners against this! lol

Alright. Let's talk about the one song that bridged it all... You and I by Rick James, from 1978's Come Get It! That opening guitar riff was a shot in the dark, in the light, and how about them shadows, too. This song was an invitation for the Funk and the R & B games to re-open doors for business; it was a path to lead us out of the Disco forrest and back to gritty music that resembled people's actual lives, not just a reflection of the busine$$ that distracted from these actual lives.

I love You & I too but that is uptempo as a MF. ...and also hella disco-ish.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.
