Big 90s R&B here from 702 who I don’t think I ever heard anything else by. No idea if any of the rest of their stuff was any good but this tune was big back when it came out. Friday summer vibes a gwarn.
Jaheim is the man. I love this kinda R&B. Big sample that’s been used many a time – William Bell – I Forgot To Be Your Lover – in fact this tune just completely rips it along with the guitar line. Anyway, haven’t been posting enough R&B recently, so check it
Spotting Lemar’s Greatest Hits album (I recognise three of the tunes) on Spotify has led to a little pop R&B sesh in the office and the realisation that this tune was a RIDDIM…haha
Everyone should know this for the huge sample lifted by Kanye West for his breakthrough track, Through The Wire. Sadly, that might have overshadowed the fact that this is a totally top tune!
Always had plenty of time for Chaka Khan and this is what old skool R&B slow jams are all about for me. Grab your favourite girl or guy and get on the floor…
Also worth noting that her hair is HUGE in the vid. I love it
