Nothing more uplifting than talking about death! So what are good songs dealing with the death of a loved one or what have you.

Here's my thoughts:
Luther Vandross - Can Heaven Wait
Boyz II Men - One Sweet Day, It's So Hard To Say Goodbye
Wayne Brady - Make Heaven Wait

What have you got?

Hmm... I was at my Godsisters grandfather's funeral the other week and they had Mariah Carey's "Bye Bye" song playing in a slideshow.

Others to mention are probably..
Aaliyah - I Miss You
Jamie Foxx - Wish You Were Here
Missy Elliot ft Ginuwine & Tweet - Take Away

not really r&b, but its something..
Bone THugs & Harmony - Crossroads

I used to know some good songs about death, but I can't think right now. I'll post them later when I remember them. The only that comes to mind right now is....

Missy Elliot ft. chilli and T-Boz- "can you hear me"
Ginuwine- "two reasons I cry"
Immature- "alone" and "please don't go"

Nice, you guys have been clutch at suggesting songs for me to use. I'm going to have a solid list when I get to working on these two.

I broke out into rap just now and was thinking of this song as well:

There is one more I just thought about and I have this on CD. It's by Kandi from Xscape on her solo album she had song with Faith Evans called "it gets easier". That song was written for Kandi brother who had passed some years ago.
