BillyPorterDebutAlbum
 
You can take this one most definitely to the bank, BIG R&B love music fanatics.
 
And hey, Good Evening! How was your day?
 
You can count on something like this to break: Especially when you KNOW it comes to not only the productions and the arrangements of a mighty slow jam, but also the lasting impression of a powerful VOICE behind them!
 
We had no choice but to add a classic, or shall we say a cover, of a supreme classic to our Top 100 R&B Slow Jam tally. And the cat many of you who DIDN’T know about, will finally get his due in some way, shape or form. TONIGHT.

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #53 | Christopher Williams – Promises, Promises

ChristopherWilliams_Paradise
 
No secret discovery. No hidden fantasy. No mis-statement. Just the old school love for some old school music entertainment for your mind, heart & SOUL!
 
…And thats’ on the mind of George Strand this time around. George, one of our writers, threw this request in the love basket tonight. He hearken back to a time when Mr. Christopher Williams not only brought out some serious love & affection, he also drove the ladies crazy:

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #54 | Jade – One Woman

Jade_JadeToTheMax
 
Remarkable.
 
When you have a team effort going on with the writers of T.U.M.S., it will be a classic junction of all time! All together as we go…shall we?
 
…as to which Shelly A. comes back again to surrender another addition to an otherwise fine collection:
 
“R&B Sista group Jade with those black boots, Tonya, Joi & Di, got down with their 1st cut, “Don’t Walk Away” (Boy). OK, Whatever. But when they showed their soft sides to seeking a one man love, they gave it all they got in a “One Woman” love song! And I did believe it hit the charts too!”

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams #55 | Janet Jackson – Let’s Wait Awhile

Janet Jackson - Control
 
Let’s get into something that carried a real message for love & was memorable at the same time.
 
Janet Jackson‘s “Lets Wait Awhile.”
 
This single climbed all the way up the charts back in 1986, right off the hit album “Control” – the mastermind from prodigy producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The LP sold well over 14 Million copies plus…& maybe some more after reading this article.

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #56 | Anita Baker – Body & Soul

Anita Baker - Rhythm of Love
 
Cheers to you & Your Family.
 
It’s possibly the way we handle our business here on T.U.M.S., The reason why we serve this slow jam love story… In two words:
 
Anita Baker.
 
Her new album is scheduled to break the later part of this year fellas & fellettes. Her legacy is not a question mark. Nor is her music a challenged one.

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #57 | Aaron Hall – I Miss You


 
You can count on any of our writers to help stimulate the slow jams collection.
 
Especially Charles (F. Sherard).
 
Charles canny thoughts seems to break the spot anytime he wants to speak. He had been away for a short while from T.U.M.S., but his heart has always & quite possibly stuck around with us. We welcome the brother back:
 
“…….T-Money and Marv (And the rest of you). I just said a few things about Charlie Wilson on the “Back In The Day” page regarding Pebbles. In my mind, another cat with a similar voice stole the show in 1993 named Aaron Hall when he displayed madd love for the lady of his life in “I Miss You”. Go ahead T.U.M.S. and play this one back on the collective of the Top 100 R&B Slow Jams…”

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #58 | Gerald Levert And Eddie Levert – Baby Hold On To Me

Gerald and Eddie Levert - Father and Son
 
We told you so. The Power of the slow jam rocks you to sleep tonight. On and on….
 
And yes…..WE WELCOME BACK REVIEWER SHELLY A.!
 
She laid it out like this tonight by email for the next request on T.U.M.S.!:
 
 “….You can’t go wrong by adding Gerald Levert to the slow jams. It’s automatic. But to add both HIM AND HIS DAD is a blowout! I Miss You Gerald! I Miss you! I loved “Baby Hold On To Me!“

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #60 | Stephanie Mills – I Feel Good All Over

StephanieMills_IfIWereYourWoman
 
Step back & think about it for just one second. You know what?
 
You Are On The Urban Music Scene.
 
The selections get more easier as the days go by. And as sweeter too. Just like how sweet Stephanie Mills caressed this passionate, thought provoking ballad, “I Feel Good All Over” – released to all the midnight all-night participants back in 1987. And yes, she made ALL of us feel good, ‘all over’, with this supreme love classic.

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams #61 | Simply Red – Holding Back The Years

SimplyRed_PictureBook (1)
 
Let’s give it up to a slow jam that not only blazed big in the U.S., but most certainly all over the world.
 
Lead singer Mick Hucknall & his rhythm & blues ensemble Simply Red blew open the curtains to a soulful gem, “Holding Back The Years”, that not only peaked at #1 on the charts here in the U.S., but charted in various countries on the globe.
