Classic Slow Jam : Ohio Players, Heaven Must Be Like This

This song is just so beautiful. Seven minutes just breeze by. One of the most deliriously romantic songs ever yet it retains some sort of essence that prevents it from being sappy. Truly amazing.

A quiet storm classic from the Players that show yet another side to their versatility.

One of the Baddest Slow Jams Ever Period IMHO!I still remember Isiah Thomas Singing this after the Detorit Pistons beat the Portland Trailblazers in the Finals back in 1990 but don't tell Moonbean? Classic Song.

nod... this is a jam to get the drawers wet...

slow jams is an aspect of the ohio players that often gets overlooked... "sweet sticky thing," "honey," "i wanna be free," etc... all of 'em kicked major booty...

Also try the amazing vocals on the slow jam "Together" from the Fire album. I love those falsetto turns on that one. The Players make some NICE slow jam. They were something else. Also, how about "Its All Over" from the same album.

How about the beginning of It's All Over from Fire album when Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner says...


"Ah girl put that suitcase down, you ain't kidding nobody, you can't leave me woman, you love me...SAY WHAT???

...IT'S ALL OVER..." lol
