Footsteps in the Dark is another cut! I was just thinking about this song yesterday morning. You can't really go wrong with any Isley slow jams: Hello, It's Me, Groove With You, Atlantis, At Your Best You Are Love...they have a slow jam complilation album out.

Footsteps brings back memories

reasons (live version only) - EWF

I think i was out beat by "Sparkle" no one has yet topped "Sparkle" or "Why Have I Lost U" (the origonal LP version is grandest) Damn i was beat! But Reasons is what i can think of right now..live version.

This is gonna be my wedding song I swear...

Who remembers that jam You and I by Ol' Brian. It was a song written by Steven Wonder but the singer Ol' Brian did it over in the eighties and I just love this song. I said when I get married and it's time for the first dance, me and my new husband have to dance to this... it's a beautiful, beautiful song , both are actually..

I remember both versions and I like them both!

dig Both versions.Great Pick.

"Because I Love You" Lenny Williams&"Lover's holiday" Leroy Hutson,"All About Love" Earth,Wind&Fire.

Speaking of EW&F slow jams,do you guys know these songs...



***"Clover"(1973)---This song is taken from their 'Heads To The Sky' album.Gorgeous song!! I think it's Philip Bailey singing lead,but he's not singing in his high voice.

***"Feelin Blue"(1974)---A hypnotic song from their 'Open Our Eyes' album.You can put this song on and just get lost in it.

***"Earth Wind And Fire"(1976)--Yes,that's the title! It's from their 'Spirit' album..."Are you satisfied,in your life and time?"

***"You And I"(1979)---This is the last song on their 'I Am' album and imo,it's the highlight of the whole album!


EW&F have so many kickass slow jams,it's absurd.

Can't Hide Love - By Earth, Wind & Fire

June7 said:

This is my favorite EW&F song.Well,it's a tie with "Fantasy".

Yeah, I think this is the one that I like the most with Maurice's voice... Yow! (and Philip's "Betcha!!")

Yesterday,I was listening to the Best of ConFunkshun and I was thinking about this thread.I love the song...


"Let Me Put Love On Your Mind"(1979)


Is that a killer slow jam or what? The vocals are great,and there is ALOT of guitar on that track.The whole thing is incredible!

Good Morning All,

The following is a copy and paste post from a previous slow jam thread from last year...




10. Keith Sweat-How Deep Is Your Love???- Now you know you got have some begging on this list right ladies??? You'll be hard pressed to find a male artist that can out begged this brother(except maybe Tyrone Davis..LOL). This song has a nice sensual beat to it(good for taking your clothes off to too) that is sure to make your lover SWEAT!!!

9. Guy-Tease Me Tonight- This slow jam will surely get you and your partner ready for some action. Now you want to be undressed and past the foreplay portion buy the time this song is on. You want to be rolling under the covers like thunder while this song is on...the musical backdrop is just perfect for it. PLEASE BABY DON'TEASE ME...PLEASE ME!!!(LOL)

8. Tyrone Davis- In The Mood...Another begging brother..LOL. Now this is the song you want to have on when you're wrapping your nice candlelight dinner. Hey guys you won't even have to say much that gaze in her eyes and let Tyrone talk for you. Watch her reaction as Tyrone says..." You're like ice cream and girl my love is gon make you MELT"...LOL

7. Heatwave-Always And Forever...This song is a classic and even though I'm a little tired of hearing it on the radio, I have many memories about this song when it first came out back in the 70's. I remember buying the 45 rpm for $1 at KMART. I took it home (my parents were gone)and called this girl around the block who I had a crush on to come over. When she got there me and her started talking, then I went into the living room and put this song on. She said that was sweet of me to put this song on and said that I was romantic. Needless to say my head got THIS BIG..the head on my shoulder THAT IS!!!(LOL) Get your mind out of the gutter fellow orgers..LOL. Anyway a good slow jam to slow dance with your lover to and in the meantime you can whisper those good things in his/her ears to get them ready.

6. Luther Vandross-Forever, For Always, For Love- The title song to Luther's 1982 is a great make out song. The older I get the more I appreciate this man's voice. This whole album is a classic, but this is one of those great foreplay and kissing songs...INDEED.


5. Prince-International Lover


4. O'Jays-Let Me Make Love To You- OOO!!! It's getting serious now. "I won't stop, I won't stop,til you ask me to, tell me to,,,BEG ME TO".

3. Marvin Gaye-Distant Lover...This song is great for slow dancing, for heavy forplay and getting seriously busy. Don't use the live version of this song for your hot night of passion. The women screaming at Marvin is somewhat of a distraction. You'll want to leave all that screaming stuff to your mate as the both of you arrive to that wonderful place called ecstasy...

2. Isley Brothers- Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)-
Like I said earlier, I know four songs off the top that would make my list for best make out jams and this is one of them. This song is so seductive and sexy. And Ronald Isley plays the role of master seducer to a hilt. And the music drives the point home, just check the drums on this.
Ronald's cry of """OOO WEEE.baby" is the zenith of horniness. CLASSIC CLASSIC SLOW JAM!!!

1. Major Harris-Love Won't Let Me Wait- This is it. Out of all the slow jams I've heard in my lifetime, this is the one I pick as the best. This is a song I never get tired of. This song is so hot,sensual and sexy until it's almost pitiful. Listen to the saxophone at the begginnig of this song setting the tone for a hot night of passion. Harris didn't have another big hit after this, but his 15 minutes of fame was one to remember. This was a well written song.Anytime you got a good singer, nice arrangements, nice lyrics, nice background singers,good musicians then you have everything you need for a successful song. Everyone associated with this gem of the song should be taken care of by Atlantic Records for life. I remember seeing Harris perform this song on Soul Train back in 1975. The female on the song moaning toward orgasm just adds more sensuality to this already sexy song. This song is a masterpiece for the ages!!! You and your partner are sure to explode in ecstacy and neither of you will be to blame for of it.

Good call on Major Harris, Brother915! Gosh, there are so many. Every slow jam on Al Greens' "I'm Still in Love with You" qualifies in my book!

I'll also include "Maybe Tomorrow" by the J5. Again, not your typical slow jam, but it "moves" me.

Another song I pick is Sarah Smile by Darly hall and Ron Oates, My dad use to sing this song whenever I was mad at something. It's a laid back song that I would categorize in blue eyed soul

Well if you wanna get a little old - I wanna Know Your Name by the Intruders

Well, not necessarily my favourite..but I thought it was worth a mention.

"When the lights go out" ..can't remember the artist..sorry, some help here please.

Great Call on that One Bro!

"What You Won't do For Love" Bobby Caldwell,"I call Your Name" Switch,"Since I Had You" Marvin Gaye."Imagination" Earth,Wind&fire.

Well, nobody's thrown out "Hello, it's Me" by the Isley Brothers. Here are some others 2 think about:

Morning Glory -- Jamiroquai
Everyday -- Jamiroquai
My One and Only Love -- John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
Simply Beautiful -- Al Green
Swingin' -- Mint Condition
I'll Cry For You -- Jodeci
Scandalous Sex Suite Pt. II -- Prince
More Than A Woman -- Angie Stone
My Life -- Mary J. Blige (credit Roy Ayers w/assist)
Till The Cops Come Knockin' -- Maxwell
Let's Chill -- Guy
Bumpy's Lament (Shaft Soundtrack) -- Isaac Hayes
They Don't Know -- Jon B.

There are 2 many others, and I'm trying to stay away from my man P's slow jams.
