Hi All,

I'm trying to make a CD w/ new and old R&B slow jams.

Two come in my mind right now:

Usher - U Got it Bad
Boyz II Men - I'll Make Love to you

Please add to the list! Thanks!

Da Thrilla

Usher - Slow Jam
K-Ci And JoJo - All My Life

tsohg

Maxwell- Till the Police come Knockin & This Woman's Work

Prince- Adore "If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'de still see. Love is just to weak a word to describe just what you mean to me" That line gets them everytime.

Earth Wind and Fire- Loves Holiday & After the Love is Gone
Guy- Lets Chill
Musiq- Love
Teddy Pendagrass- Turn Out the Lights
Janet Jackson- Anytime Anywhere
Stevie Wonder- Ribbon in the Sky
Dru Hill- Beauty
Tony Toni Tone- Pillow

And the Masters of Slow Jams

• Commodores -- Three Times A Lady
• Diana Ross & Lionel Richie -- Endless Love
• Lenny Kravitz -- Heaven Help, My Precious Love
• Mary Jane Girls -- Shadow Lover
• Chant้ Moore -- All of her album Precious, Am I Losing You?
• Me'Shell Ndeg้ocello -- Outside Your Door, All of her album Bitter [size=1[one of the best albums EVER][/size]
• Pure Soul -- We Must Be In Love, Stairway To Heaven [w/ the O'Jays] [who, of course, sang the original which is excellent too]
• Tony Rich Project -- Nobody Knows, Silly Man
• Shai -- Comforter, Together Forever
• Sweetback -- Softly, Softly [w/ Maxwell] & there are some great slow instrumentals on the album

• I'd highly recommend any Sade, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Lonnie Liston Smith [great instrumentals], Maxwell, & Prince [pre-1998] albums.

If you're looking for just hits two labels did it right. Rhino has their Smooth Grooves series & EMI has their Slow Jams series. And both have some fantastic stuff on 'em.

Of course, this is all just off the top of my head...
