Ooooffffff. So two that come to mind for me are "Flirt" by Cameo and "She's Just That Kind Of Lady" by Mazarati..... That's some deep funk right there

“Invitation to Love”-The Dazz Band
🤗💜💫✨🤌🏾🔥

Haven’t posted many slow jams, so I chose this one instead of an earlier Kinsman Dazz jam I was going to go with.

@naima I meant to post this song for the yearning prompt but life got on the way. This song works for this prompt too.

@naima The Stillmatic intro using Stacy Lattisaw’s “Let Me Be Your Angel” soooooo goood

[Friendsbeingfriendly @kimikoko73]

@naima Gladys Knight and the Pips did their big one on here. I’m talking guitar strings smoking, the recording booth was levitating, Gladys sweatin out every one of her edges, the Pips transforming from angels 2 demons when they hit that “hugging and a-lovin”. She sang this from her gut

I know it's #BlackMusicMonth but the VISE GRIP THIS SONG HAD ON US IN 1991?!?!?!

[Music Charts Archive @ChartsArchive]

On this day in 1991 the band Extreme hit #1 on the Hot 100 with the acoustic ballad "More Than Words."

If you're a music lover over a certain age, you've probably turned to someone younger while music was playing and proclaimed: "You don't know nothin' bout this."

For Day 8 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the song you gotta put the "young uns" on to.

[Naima Cochrane @naima]

Summer Sundays are perfect for using your free will to hop in your ride with no particular destination.

Some songs just sound better through car speakers with the windows down.

For day 7of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share a song that was made for riding out.

[dem-a-panic relief @gimmeduhIoot]

Count Your Blessings - Nas and Damian Marley

[Monica Kay @themonicakay]

“Imagine Me” by @kirkfranklin
“Off the Wall” by MJ

Both helped me through depressive states. Also, oddly enough, Neyo’s “Stay With Me.”
