I don't know if this has ever been brought up here, but this is one of my favorite songs from Soul II Soul. I think the album is underrated for sure. People tend to overlook Vol III , but I think it is a very good album.

I love Soul II Soul, i think they are very underrated. A lot of folks dont know they continued making music after Vol 2.

So do I. As a matter of fact, I still listen to their music.

I listen to Vol III a lot. That album was really good. It had a touch of soul, rap, hip-hop, jazz, acid jazz, etc. all rolled into one album.

Maybe someone can confirm this for me. But i seem 2 remember that Soul II Soul provided the music 4 Sinead O Connors version of Nothing Compares 2 U. And around the same time, Madonna was also courting Jazzie and the crew 4 a possible musical link up, though this particular coupling never happened.

Nellee Hooper produced Nothing Compares 2 U (and I Am Stretched Around Your Grave) for her. He also produced Bjork's debut Debut. He might have produced Madonna's Bedtime Story but I am not sure about that.

Oh, and I love this album...my fav of any of theirs. I need to add this to my itune wishlist.

Booo!!! It's not on itunes. Errr...

http://www.soulwalking.co...0Soul.html This site states that Nothing Compares 2 U was "arranged" by Nelle Hooper and Jazzie B.....the plot thickens.....lol

MikeyB71 said:

Hmm...

BTW: This isn't my fav album. Believe is my fav and it too isn't on itunes. Errr.

sosgemini said:

I agree....Believe is my favourite 2 (so far)....A Soul II Soul & Erykah Badu album would b the audio equivalent 2 a giant pot of honey

sosgemini said:

It's on Amazon.

You can buy the cd used on Amazon for 1 cent.

Hmmmm...Thanks!

Hey folks, how come you all never told me Love Enough had a video?



I always thought this was Karen Whiller (sic?) singing this song. Who knew? Hands down, the best Souls 2 Soul tune.

sosgemini said:

I didn't know this song had a video either.

This singer doesn't sound like Caron Wheeler. I do like the song, though. Jazzy was extremely talented.

sosgemini said:

It's Penny Ford. She was the singer in Snap, and formerly a backup singer for Chaka Khan.

I love Soul II Soul - Volume II is my favourite, though.

That sure is Penny! Wow, I forgot about her. I have her debut album somewhere. I haven't played it in years.

sosgemini said:

OMG I love love love LOVE that song! My absolute favorite song of theirs. It came out in 1995 when I was in 8th grade, but it didn't get alot of airplay here in Detroit. I had the cassette single but I've lost it over the years. There was a remix on the single that I can't find anywhere, but I like that version better than the album version.

Matter of fact, the video version is the version Im reffering 2. That's the one I need 2 find.
