      The sad part is that even in 2000s Rnb was way more about feelings and relationships than it is now. At least female singers are holding shit down and they release more sunstantial RnB projects than guys who are like "Copy-{aste" each other for last 5-10 years

    This was the first LP I bought with my own money. I played this song over and over. The entire Spark of Love album was good. Check out Midnight Girl by Lenny and So very Hard to Go by Tower of Power featuring Lenny as lead.

    Hey Jack! Been watching ur videos for about 4 or 5 months and I haven't been able to come up with a song to recommend, but I have one that I hope you haven't heard already😭
    Love Me In a Special Way by El Debarge (Tamia also has a version that I recommend too, but always start with the ORIGINAL😭). Keep up the good work, Jack👌🏽🔥
