I love this song! music this could have been a single.

nod I'm only realizing now that it wasn't. Unbelievable (I played it enough to have been a single though, lol). I just ran a quick check; doesn't seem to be on any of his "Greatest Hits" or "Anthology" discs either. That's why you can't trust those sets; they leave off gems like "Call Me Up".

nod I really like the part that comes before the second chorus ("If you wanna do it all night,if you wanna make love right")....that part is somewhat of a surprise.

Right now:

Fire It Up
Teardrops

Doin' It

I find Doin It getting some mention interesting. I really didn't care

for the Coldblooded album much outside the 3 singles and the

duet with Billy Dee Williams a little.

Don't laugh at my funk

Definately one of his best slow jams. I've had the album for decades but never discovered this song until about 7 or 8 years ago when a friend of mine (a sexy friend) mentioned it. I pulled my album and listened to it and fell in love with it instantly.

Right now Jefferson Ball is number 1, two and III for me.

But, I have just discovered this from back in the day... and it is my top song

from that Ricky incarnation. ...not a bad song.

It's hard to pick just 3...he has such a huge catalog of music to select from, but...I'd go with...

"When Love Is Gone"

"Fire & Desire"

"Come Into My Life"

He has jamming dance songs, but he really moves me with his heartfelt ballads! I'd throw in "Happy" for good measure. U can't go wrong with anything involving Teena, as far as I'm concerned!

If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in!

Yeah, that bass in Mamas Eyes is crazy.

Today I heard Not Alone off of Deeper Still - more crazy bass. Shit.
