It was, it was a hit on the R&B charts.

Yeah I know but I mean we're talking about a legend, with his track record, putting out a track like this?

It should been all over lame-ole pop radio.

Butterflies is a R&B song. Its not a pop song.

I love that song, yet I think "Being a Girl" was Van's Hit That Never Was.


...and I'd counter with "At the End of a Slow Dance."

That album is so ridiculously good. My favourite track is either daredevil, baby or If I take you home (upon).

Yet, I do not like the album production, thanks to Bill Bottrell who probably doesn't understand
that Van Hunt is not your typical R&B troubador.

Interesting; i liked it. Not to say that WWYHF or Fun Rises, Fun Sets weren't outstanding in their own right. But I think On The Jungle Floor is his most complete album to date.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Unbreakable would've been an epic single. MJ should've been trusted with his opinion, and Unbreakable should've been the first single from Invincible. Great song.

I saw it as Van's last shot at hitting the mainstream. Probably not where Van belongs, but a superb effort nonetheless.

nod He was cut loose after that album didn't put him over. He had to give it a shot though. To paraphrase duccichucka's comparison . . . OTJF feels like Van's Diamonds and Pearls, whereas albums like WHYHF feel like his Parade.

"Unbreakable"?


Eh...


This is the one that shoud've been all over the place:





Marsha Ambrosius is to me one of the best song writers and producers to ever do it.
This song I'm posting below I hear was perhaps intended to be submited to Michael before he passed.
