growing up in 60' and 70's there were some SLow jams (ballads) that would make you sigh and say...DAMn...what a
smooth cut. These were the ones if you could sing you'd
do for the girl you wanted to impress.

3 that seem to always be on my old school (dusty) rotation
fit the category.

1.Didn't I blow your mind-delfonics
2.love on a 2-way street-moments
3.side show-blue magic

do you remember these?
and can you think of any in this category.

(oh yeah...i can hear Prince doing all of these...
Especially LOVE on a 2 way street...MAN...he could
Kill this one!)

old songs don't usually make me wistful (i'm only 26), but here's my overall list:


Hurt (Johnny Cash's version)

I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt -- NOT, and i cannot stress this enough -- NOT Prince's version. but George Michael's is good too)

I'll Be There (Escape Club)

Love Thy Will Be Done, Nothing Compares 2 U, Open Book, Pink Cashmere, The Grand Progression, Empty Room, Just My Imagination (Prince, duh)

Jesus To A Child and Praying For Time (George Michael)

Human Nature and Will You Be There (Michael Jackson)

Rain and Drowned World (Madonna)

Broken Arrow (Rod Stewart)

The One (Elton John)

Love Takes Time (Mariah Carey)

Shape Of My Heart (Backstreet Boys... no, really)

Life On Mars? and Wild Is The Wind (David Bowie)

Here Comes The Sun and For No One (The Beatles)

Blowing Kisses In The Wind (Paula Abdul)

One (U2)
