R&B Guru 2008-07-31 06:20:52 Total Posts: 2527 | Well, I'm sure everyone here has their own strong opinions :). Of my own, I recommend: Tony Rich (check "Nobody Knows," "My Stomach Hurts,"... pretty much ANY tracks) After 7 (esp. Reflections, "How Do You Tell The One," "How could You Leave") Kevon Edmonds ("How Often," "No Love") Gerald LeVert (Pretty much all of Groove On and Love & Consequence) Solo (Every Sam Cooke cover, "Heaven," "Sorry") Surface - 2nd Wave (might be 89 but it's close enough). | |||

Lemme add: Portrait: (1992 self titled album is great) Silk: (all of their 3 albums from the 90's) Tony Toni Tone: (All their albums) Johnny Gill: (all albums, especially his 1990 self titled and his 1996 album) | |||

ilikeit 2008-07-31 14:03:04 Total Posts: 1156 | I second the Brian McKnight and because of all his good music and long career you're going to be awhile,and you can't listen to anything else until you're done with him. Then and only then can we move on. LOL Good luck. | |||

R&B Guru 2008-07-31 18:42:11 Total Posts: 2527 | junebug, you can tell me and you entered R&B a few years apart haha. I feel like all of your suggestions come in around the very early 90s while I tend to stay around the mid to late 90s :). | |||

junebug18 2008-07-31 19:09:46 Total Posts: 540 | @ R&B Guru Yeah, both periods (early and mid 90s) are my favorite time periods in R&B. i love that early 90's distinct sound (especially with saxophone instrumentation within tracks, like i.e. Michele'le's "Something In My Heart", Shai "Comforter", Mint Condition "Forever In Your Eyes" etc.), and the overall sound of R&B/ New Jack Swing music in that time period was just amazing. As for the mid 90's, the dark production era is what got me. Tracks like New Edition "Hit Me Off", Az Yet "Last Night" have a distinct mid 90's sound. @ ilikeit. cosign! LOL. | |||

VivaciousDivah 2008-08-11 16:41:30 Total Posts: 9 | Destiny's Child was definitely tight in the 90's. Let me think...Something for the People, Mint Condition, KP&Envyi, Public Announcement. There are too many to name...but 90's R&B was that business...that baby-making music, that "keeping it real" music!! | |||
R&B Guru 2008-08-11 19:27:06 Total Posts: 2527 | Divah, when you mention Destiny's Child, what do you think about their reuniting? Excited for it? Have doubts it'll happen? | |||
