From the same LP as "You Used to Hold Me So Tight". Another slept on Thelma Houston jammer. Produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

"(I Guess) It Must Be Love" (1984)

KMD was an early 90's hip hop group formed by MC Serch of 3rd Bass. It consisted of brothers Zev Love X and DJ Subroc. Zev Love X was introduced to us with a guest spot on the 3rd Bass track "The Gas Face" in 1989. He went on to become the artist MF Doom who was a favorite of the underground hip hop crowd of the early 2000's.

"Nitty Gritty" feat. Brand Nubian

One of my favorite Bobby Brown tracks. This is the T.R. remix by Teddy Riley. This song has just stuck in my head for 30 plus years ever since I recorded it off the radio station WBLK 93.7 in Buffalo. On weekend nights they would play from a downtown Buffalo club and you'd hear all the remixes being played.

"I Wanna Get Next To You"

Ok Dougie here is my take on this tune..BTW it,s top notch
If this was recorded at Muscles Shoals in the 60,s...with a horn line, thicker drumming and bass then.for me it would be a classic

all in all it has that Motown groove.....nice

 

[ogibowt]

A Soul singer most have never heard of..but ironically has been heard on countless recordings as a back up singer

! quick example ..Sweet Home Alabama..

 

[ogibowt]

I think Dougie is gonna like this one
Merry Clayton..in the background .singing
