Post the best here. It doesn't matter what genre as long as it's slow and possibly sexy..maybe even dirty as hell. I'll start it off with two of the GOATs.

This won't qualify as "overlooked" per se, but it still is a bit of an asskicker--as well as the best wannabe Prince song of the last fifteen years:
D'Angelo - "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" QUOTE

They're all favorites of mines, as well as: Rose Royce - "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" Alexander O'Neal - "If You Were Here Tonight" Quincy Jones, et al. - "The Secret Garden" Jodeci - "Feenin'" Aaron Hall - "Don't Be Afraid" [not really a slow jam, though] |

Have all of you forgotten.......
-------------------- "the ladies have been checking me out lately.... could it be the 10 push-ups i've been cranking out every other Sunday? - Perhaps!" -Scrubs
Some people are a lot like slinkys... kinda useless, not really good for anything -but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs  QUOTE (Hewletts Daughter @ Jan 8 2008, 04:11 PM)  "After much thought into this, I have finally come to a conclusion as to why the ‘Meet the Spartans’ commercial is so funny: It is an interesting choice to have Sanjaya sing ‘I’m not gay,’ as his final words on earth. As he is plummeting into a seemingly bottomless pit, he does not say ‘dear god no,’ ‘I love you mom,’ or even simply ‘argh.’ He instead takes the moment to reaffirm to the world, in spite of their doubts, that he is not a homosexual. Not only that, but he continues to sing, despite falling to his certain death. The distinct lack of plausibility of this situation is what produces giggles from our mouth. It is the antithesis to the belief that ‘it’s funny because it is true.’" |

D'Angelo is back in '07,baby! New album, apparently. I'm interested to see if he still looks fat and coked out or if he went back to the sexy, constantly-licking-his-lips look. -------------------- |

I really believe that Prince's "Slow Love" is both one of the best and most overlooked slow jams of the more-or-less modern era.
