What a list- what a time. I can hear the 12"s of the entire top 5 in my head (don't know "Devotion")! Not to mention the Whitney, MJJ, Jody Watley on down that list. What a great time for music...

Did you get Rickrolled by it? lol

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

True! Alex was a beast in his day. In having a great chemistry with Jam and Lewis definitely put the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, his horrible drug addiction certainly robbed him of all. ALL TRUE MAN, I enjoyed to the max. THE YOKE was my ultimate lol Still bump it hard to this day. Other standouts were SOMEBODY CHANGED YOUR MIND, EVERYTIME I GET UP, and MIDNIGHT RUN. It seemed O' Neal had quite a connection with super producers Denzel Foster and Thomas McElroy on the latter, that in too featured Maxine Jones from En Vogue. As for ballads, THE MORNING AFTER does it for me lol [Edited 5/16/20 14:58pm]
"Somebody Changed Your Mind" and "Everytime I Get Up" oh lawd...the drum programming on BOTH those joints...amazing ..and the pain and passion Alex delivers on "Somebody Changed Your Mind"?...i FELT that shit...he damn near crying on the adlibs.....no doubt those 2 joints were the hightlights..."Time Is Runnin Out", " The Yoke", "All True Man", "Sentimental"...all those joints are monumental

What Is This Thing Called Love was dope too

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
