Oh damn You pulled your JB card on us! Totally forgot about that song

Some of these tracks sound awful in 2011.

Yikes.

Al B. Sure! produced some great NJS tracks back in his day too. Just can't remember them now... . His production was mostly top notch although his singing wasn't.

That's one impressive list Timmy! You listed some of my contenders. Johnny Kemp is forgotten gem from that era. Probably because that's his biggest hit. I Want Her is a strong contender too!

Lots of cool remixes, including one of I Wanna Sex You Up that I

Hands Down:

"I Want Her" by Keith Sweat

As far as I'm concerned, Keith was the king of New Jack Swing music.

Followed by:

"Something, Something Just Ain't Right" and "Make It Last Forever".

Yeah he (and Bobby) are strong contenders for the NJS title but seeing how Keith DID come first, I do believe he has Bobby beat. He also had "I Can Make You Sweat" and "Merry Go Round".

And whoever mentioned James Brown, it's new jack influenced but I think James would've been against the fact that his material with Full Force was "new jack swing", it was otherwise still just "funky music" to him. But Full Force did have influence as far as the development of new jack swing and they did have a hot NJS song with "Ain't My Type of Hype" from the House Party soundtrack.

TIMMY!!!!! This one and "There You Go Telling Me No Again" You 'bout to make me pull out my Keith Sweat greatest hits cd......

Speaking of FF, is this a pre-cursor to NJS?

I say it is even if it's really more in the advance of freestyle than anything else though. But some elements prevalent in new jack swing later on was evident in this song.

Thanks man.

NJS...one of my favourite gernes...best one for me:

When I bought the cdsingle, this was the version on it (thought for a long time it was the original version )

Love this thread, some more NJS joints I like:

Can someone post Teena Marie's "Here's Looking At U"?
