The album cover is a bit too much :grin: but itā€™s a great new album.

A great sample of the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced classic by The S.O.S. Band, ā€œNo Oneā€™s Gonna Love Youā€. Seems to also sample S.O.S Bandā€™s ā€œJust The Way You Like Itā€ - also produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

I had to revisit the original - from one of my most prized possessions, this 4CD compilation.

ā€œThe song sampled Michael Jacksonā€™s ā€œThe Lady in My Lifeā€ from his 1982 hit album Thriller; thus Rod Temperton, the writer of that song, was given credit as a writer of this song. At the 1997 Grammy Awards, the song won a Grammy Awardā€

Blacknuss, an institution in soul, funk, R&B here in Sweden. Esbjƶrn Svensson from E. S. T. played in this band. Esbjƶrn Svensson died in scuba dive accident 10 years ago. A jazz genius.

A gorgeous listen. These young artists are carrying the R&B torch well.

Only 21 years old. Her tone has the emotions of a much older woman than her actual age.

His pop stuff makes him the most money, but I prefer when he dips his toes in R&B. He does a good job.

I havenā€™t featured enough Uncle Charlie - still one of the greatest voices.

It doesnā€™t get much better :sob:

Those of tears of joy from the moment the drums open, then the bass guitar and keyboards and the buttery smooth vocals :grin:
