I could fill the rest of the afternoon with Doo Wop...but i gotta a barbeque to attend..lol
Ogi has previously posted The Students and The Ronettes versions of this one...
One of my favourite R & B groups from the mid 1950s. Great songs to slow dance to with girls at the old Toronto dance halls and get a huge hard on. LOL. Best fav of mine I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU.
this is classic song in and of itself....many ,many covers..this one is top notch....great voice.............i could even tolerate Justin Beiber covering it ...lol..
This came across my YT feed recently. Bassist Marcus Miller, Keyboardist George Duke and Saxophonist David Sanborn got together and formed a short lived group called DNS back in 2011. This is the product.
Wasn't aware Sanborn passed away last year from cancer. RIP.

Here's George Duke solo. I love this tune. Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson on the bass
"Reach Out" (1983)

Here's bassist Stanley Clarke with Howard Hewett (from Shalamar). They credit George Duke here but its not him, its keyboardist Denzil Miller. Duke was on another track from the same album. This is smooth.
"Heaven Sent You"

From the debut LP 'Bonafide" (1995), this is Jon B.'s second single from that album. Written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Who btw is back in concert this August at Casino Niagara. Sadly I have to miss it as I am in a golf tournament that weekend.
"Pretty Girl"
A sample of the lyrics which are str8
"I'll touch you in the places no one's been before
And I'll kiss you in the places men sometimes ignore.
Take you to a level you've never felt before
And though you won't understand it, you'll cry and beg for more."

Some silky r&b/soul with a touch of jazz.

Great tune. Its going on my classic soul playlist right now. I love the backing vocals the voice sounds familiar to me.
