I think I wanna do a five-by-five list like I did last year, only with different categories. Just to refresh, these are five categories of love songs, with five songs each. And again, this is not a be-all and end-all list. These aren’t even necessarily my favorite songs in each category. Shoot, they’re not necessarily even definitely in the category I’ve placed them. It just kinda made sense to me. It’s just discussion points.
So let’s roll:
Curveballs - May be witty or funny, or may just express the feelings in an offbeat way
A Funky Space Reincarnation - Marvin Gaye
You Got What It Takes - Joe Tex
Love Rears Its Ugly Head - Living Colour
Somethin’ You’ve Got - Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown
Stone To The Bone - James Brown
Blue-Eyed Jammin
Skin Tight - Chicago
Reach Out - Average White Band
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly
What You Won’t Do - Bobby Caldwell
More Than A Woman - The Bee Gees
nahmsayin, nahmeen…
Blac Mermaid - Society of Soul
Sumthin’ Sumthin’ (Mellosmoothe) - Maxwell
Good Luck Charm - The Ohio Players
Feenin’ -Jodeci
No Ordinary Love - Sade
Let’s Try It
I Can’t Get Next To You - Al Green
Passing Me By - The Pharcyde
Hey Love - Stevie
I Like It - The Emotions
Find A Way - A Tribe Called Quest
Let’s Try It Again -
The Second Time Around - Shalamar
A House Is Not A Home - Luther Vandross
Thinking Of You - Tony Toni Tone
I Love You - Mary J. Blige
Maybe Tomorrow - Jackson 5.
A special note about Maybe Tomorrow…as love songs sung by pre-pubescent boys go, this one kills it. It is entirely credible. Mike sings the song like his pop said he wasn’t gonna be able to play with his favorite toy for 3 months or something. I think the list of adult singers who could do this better, or even as well, is verrry short.
