The whole Blaze album "25 years later", which even 25 years later today I still love as much as the day it came out, if that makes sense

Hmm quite a lot to go at conchitta but how about the Temptations "Stay" for starters ?

Jamal Trice"nothing is too good.." Killer with a capital K..mid tempo marvelousness and then some!

Not usually my type of tune but love Blaze-So Special.

So it wasn't, forgive my senior moment ?

"Another Star" - Stevie Wonder - brilliant beyond words - a masterpiece !!

 

Flavor - don't freeze up

temptations - treat her like a lady 

5th dimension - slipping into something new

basic black - whatever it takes

billy preston & syreeta - go for it

Obviously I agree with the Blaze and Temps "Stay" etc, but from a bit further back, this comes to mind...........

 

 

Cheers,

Mark R

I still never tire of hearing this. Smokey Robinson - Tell Me Tomorrow
