The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #48 | Glenn Jones – We’ve Only Just Begun (The Romance Is Not Over)

Glenn Jones - Debut Album
 
How significant can a slow jam make an artist? Just ask R&B super crooner Glenn Jones…
 
When Glenn joined Jive Records back in 1987 and released his album under the same name, his breakout classic ballad, “We’ve Only Just Begun” flew right up the Billboard charts! As passionate was the song is as passionate Glenn often displayed his powerhouse voice on all of his music. Here’s a toast to one of the great romantic singles to ever grace R&B music.

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!”
