I'm not sure if I posted this a while ago. I really dig this tune. The harmonies are fantastic

Speaking of harmonies, this is likely the Gold Standard. My favorite song from the Emotions

Produced by Maurice White and Charles Stepney. White used his Earth, Wind & Fire bandmates on this album.

Another Sapphires treasure, the b-side of "I've got mine you better get yours"

Wow if that's the B side I gotta hear the A side. Tasty bass.

The Score by The Fugees is a work of art. Track #4 is Zealots

Of course the sample is this way back classic from The Flamingos.

My favorite joint off the LOX debut album.

This was a huge track in the summer of '99

I loved the hip hop/jazz fusion of the early-mid 90's. This tune is timeless

Probably the biggest song in the club in 1992. It packed the dance floor.

The sample was Public Enemy's '"Show Em Watcha Got"

Who had sampled the Lafayette Afro Rock Band

From the 1980 album Triumph. The first one produced entirely by The Jacksons. They did a very good job. This track, Lovely One and Heartbreak Hotel were very successful.
