Takes me back to my teenage years when we were slow dancing with our honeys to The Platters, Johnny Mathis, and Tommy Edwards...
Alex was the truth. Track #1 on his self titled debut album, released in 1985. In the video producers Jimmy Jam on the keyboards and Terry Lewis on the upright bass. Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.
Maze feat. Frankie Beverly "Joy and Pain". This was released in 1980. My favorite song from them.
I was put onto that song thanks to Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's hip hop interpolation in 1988

This was the first Teena Marie song I can remember hearing. Little did I know at the time just how good her discography was and would be.
"Lovergirl"
As it turned out my very favorite song from her was near the end of her life. This was a duet with Faith Evans I believe released in 2009.
"Can't Last a Day"

I was thinking about the 1990 Whit Stillman movie "Metropolitan" today, and remembered it was the first time I heard this song...
Those
songs and many other similar songs like the CHI lite Oh Girl, Have you seen her, and others were responsible for my meeting, dancing and love making in my early 20s, going to dance clubs in Toronto were the best years of my past.
X.. i eat this kinda music up like my favourite candy......ive heard this tune before a few times but it had escaped my memory bank.....thanks for the post....going back now for a 2nd helping ..lol
Never heard of that movie nor have I ever heard this song. Damn its good. Great vocals and just love the simple bass that is the backbone of the music.
Tweet was discovered by Missy Elliott. In 2002 she debuted with 'Southern Hummingbird' which in my opinion is one of the most underrated LP's of that era. Love this tune has a more lounge than dance club vibe.

"I'm in Luv"

Two remixes of my absolute favorite Vanessa Williams song. Such a beautiful and talented woman I can't get enough of her. A pure Nubian Princess.
The Comfort Zone (Quiet Storm remix)
The Comfort Zone (Slammin' Radio Mix). This one was remixed by the House legend Frankie Knuckles. RIP.

Wow pretty cool blend mix. Amerie's "Talkin' to Me" b/w Jodeci's "Get On Up"
Here are few more from Brenda & the Tabulations...
And here's the trailer for Whit Stillman's "Metropolitan". Set in the late 50's or early 60's New York, it concerns the life of a group of wealthy young preppy socialites during debutante season in Manhattan. In addition to some of their debutante parties, it covers their frequent informal after-hours gatherings at a friend's Upper East Side apartment, where they discuss life, philosophy, and their fate, and form attachments...
Not relevant today, but quite popular when it was released in 1990.
