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…”

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!“

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.

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.

The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams – #62 | Ready For The World – Love You Down

ReadyForTheWorldLongTimeComing
 
That’s right….who said we were moving too SLOW with our tally of slow jams?
 
Henceforth the point: The power & the mystique of the R&B Slow Jam. It should be ‘well done’ and ‘on standby’, ‘by all means’.
 
And why not throw in Ready For The World & Melvin Riley. Melvin & his crew crooned the midnight & the galactic stars out of “Love You Down” for all you listeners back in the 80’s (1986 to be exact) – which of course, helped one of the last African American R&B groups leap to major stardom.
