Johnny Gill "My, My, My" is probably the quintessential R&B song

Embodies everything a perfect R&B song should be.

Sensual, you know it's a love making song, :shaq:.....but it's not raunchy. Not that raunchy is bad, but there's no balance today, which is necessary. You could still play this on a with a girl you have no intentions of getting down with and it wouldnt be awkward. A bigger test, as a youngster you could sing it with your moms in the car and she wouldnt make u change the station.

One of the most flawless vocal performances on a record ever IMO.

Not a wasted word in the writing(Babyface the GOAT :bow:)

Nothing else really needs to be said.

Had to make sure you mentioned Babyface the Gawd.

I attended the ASCAP I create music expo before and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis said the Johnny Gill originally didn’t like the song but they convinced him to record it and the rest is history.

No.


I'm gonna say off top it's "Respect", which fits even the parameters you gave here.

It's crazy how many hit songs almost didn't even get made...or how many songs were given to other artists who rocked it.

:wow:

Put on your red dress
And slip on your high heels
And some of that sweet perfume
It sure smells good on you
Slide on your lipstick
Let all your hair down
Cause Baby when you get through
I'm going to show off you
Tonight will be a special night
No matter where we go
And I'm so proud to be with you
I just wanna let you know

You got me saying
My, My, My
My, My, My

:banderas:
