Essential Very Very Low-key R&B/Soul Classics

[R-Typ3]

 

[I love Latina women]

This song (and album) is very underrated to me. One of my favorites from them.

YES!!! One of the best R&B collaborations in recent times. Probably my favorite song on the album along “Rescue Me”.

This ain't a low key classic...this song is well known and an outright classic

These songs should've been bigger




She should've had success, this album fell thru the cracks but it's so much heat, promise.

Been listening to that Monifah for the past couple of weeks.

Love it

You may be wrong on this one..
All the old heads know this as a big tune.

What city you from?.

I've only heard this in London

 

[frush11]

Thought this blow, but only got a lil love on adult contempary radio






This was a song that got ignore originally. But became a cult hit in the London Rare Groove scene

A Chicago classic, not heard too many djs outside the Chi and London play this.

Got put on to this bout 2 months ago



I'm using this thread to build up my old Soul/R&B vinyl collection. Got all the known stuff, need them random/regional/local classics

A record that was released in 75/6 , a year later Bobbi Humphrey covered it. But the song never did anything in the States. Minor hit in Japan. Then in the mid 80's becomes one of the most coveted songs on the London Rare Groove scene. Then in the 93 this song gets sampled on one of the biggest Jungle/D&B tunes ever.

One of the hardest and most expensive songs to get your hands. I've given hope trying to find this song at a decent price. Just hope one day I just stumble on it at a yard sale, thrift store, or in a library book store

I always felt like Amel's For Real should've been bigger than what it was.

Whole post is on point.

I went to A1 Record shop in LES a couple of years back . And asked for this record, and the dude at the store, just started laughing at me.

And I'm like what's so funny

He looked at me and said

"You crazy, if I had this record, I ain't letting it go for at least 300"

This one I do own, got it at my local library. Another one of those that only got exposure through Rare Groove scene. Some years after it came out. Good luck finding this
