K-bee! Man....I'm crying looking at these "funky-fresh" jamz back in the day! Timex Social Club's, Rumours was the jam! Also, the fallout of the band....club nouveau.....jealousy.

Now that Jeffrey Osborne, Woo Woo Song....thats a definite 'baby-making' song. That song rates very high on my all-time old skool love jamz list.

I'm coming to realize that Toni Braxton and Anita Baker's voices sound so similar.

Keep posting them away, K-Bee.

Wow! What memories many of those songs bring. I never thought of myself as an R&B fan. I guess I really didn't know exactly what this genre consisted of. Thanks K-Bee!
