That being said, same thing happened to Megan Rochell on the Def Jam label. Still can't figure out how she dropped a track like this and then just disappeared

"The One You Need" feat. Fabolous

Apparently Brandy & Monica have made up and are going on tour together this summer. I might go. This was a monster hit for them in the late 1990's. Produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Dallas Austin.

"The Boy is Mine"

Brenton Wood is one of my favorite singers of that era. I've been exploring his discography for a while now. This is another ballad of his I enjoy

Early James Brown. You really get to hear his pure vocals on this one, without the shrieking. Dude was masterful. Again I'll say it the most important artist in black music history.

"Try Me" James Brown and the Famous Flames

She was most famous for "My Guy". This was a tidy mid tempo gem as well.
