Me did like Terrence Trent Darbvy music but his talent never quite caught up with his ego.

you should have added that love on a two way street was a remoke of the song originally done by the moments who later became ray goodman & brown

Jawgy bwoy, I am typing with a smile pon me face right ya now. The other day i was reminscing and telling my 16 y o that back when I was her age, as a young man, we had to have "lyrics" to woo a girl. We couldn't just go up to a girl with the line"Wha a gwaan nice girl" or some bullsh!t and expect to get her. I remember I used to make a cassette with pure "love" chunes and write poems and send flowers on Valentines's Day and buy her perfumes and take her to watch a FLIM show at Carib and carry her to Kentucky before I could think about bussing a kiss. As a young lad you had to show the girl you knew how to be romantic even if you knew nothing. We used the songs of the day to say what we couldn't voice ourselves to a girl. Fastforward to today's young R&B singers - "I wanna sex every girl in the world", "I invented sex", "I'm in love with a stripper", "Slide down the pole with no panties on"......~sigh~.

Anyway, here's two from my catalogue. These need to be savoured so make sure you stop what you are doing. BIG HEAVY-DUTY CHUNES!!!!!

Jangle, unoo a gwan bad inna the place! That Isley Brothers selection is one of a kind.

These two selections were really late 70s music but still used to get nuff play in the 80s.

This was Mr Motown himself. One of the best R&B songwriters ever:

Me remember someyears ago a real old-school music lover and audiophile ( you know the type dat still keep dem perfectly preserved vinyl records because the instruments sound better than them sound pon CD?) ask a youngster fe play some of the better modern day R&B for him.

The first song the youngster play is "You Remind Me of my Jeep" , him say alright dats enough.

Here I sit amused and even amazed that after 2 pages of discussion no one mentioned a Lionel Richie, an Aretha Franklin or a Stevie Wonder?
