It was 1991
My senior year of high school
Wilson High
Florence, SC
Three words
And a hot ass soprano sax
That was my JAM
The song...
My, My, My...by Johnny Gill
Damn! That song was fiyyyyah!!!
What about the joint that BBD sang...When Will I See You Smile Again
Aw shit! I forgot about Let's Chill by Guy. Not to mention Piece of My Love (we are still tryna figure out if he said dumb bitch?!)
That dude who begged on his songs had a hot one too...what's his name?? Ummm. Keith Sweat...How Deep Is Your Love
Can't forget about Jodeci! I loved Stay.
What are all of these songs??? They are slow jams that were HOT when I was in high school. Now...it's your turn. You can name as many as you like. Or you can talk about why one meant something to you. This should be interesting b/c the age range of the inhabitants of the 12th Planet are from 19 to 45. Well...maybe 72...if you count the Pew View. LMAO!!!
BTW...you don't have to tell the year that you graduated from high school. We SHOULD be able to figure it out anyway. LMAO!!!!

I know he's a punk but we used to love some Al B. Sure!
Can't forget about New Edition with Mr. Telephone Man and Lost In Love and maybe I was a little too young to be going old school but we wore the heck out of a Marvin Gaye tape...
Oh, I almost forgot The Boys and Dial My Heart. Wonder where THEY are now??
Well just about everything the that r. Kelly & Publici Announcement... remember them? & then he dumped the all and It was r. Kelly before the bum was a molester..
Keith Sweat.. Make it Last Forever
Dru Hill. Sleeping in my bed
Boyz to Men Motown Philly album
Entire sound track " Menace to Society" might be going back to far
I'll think of some more later on
Damn I loved the post till I read "My My My" I loathe J. Gill
...you cant replace the King or R&B in the greatest group ever!
e/
Waking up...rubbing eyes...3, 3 before me, okay well...
See "I am Rick Bitch James" was doing his thing. His entire album, yeah i said album, because back in the day we didn't have cd's, you know the one where he is wearing those red leather pants, was so great.
"Give it to me baby"
"Happy"
"Fire and Desire"
Rick alone could set off a party.
I remember playing this song at my graduation party...
"You can ring my belllllllllll"
Not my year, but was the joint in high school -
"Aqua Boogie baby, never learned to swim..."
back then slow songs were the ish...
Switch was doing their thing ...
"There never be a better love"
in fact i sung that song with 3 other ladies at our high school dinner...we changed the words to reflect that there would never be a better year!
dayum, it just felt good reminiscing, thanks 12kyle!
@ 12kylefan
I think the Boys work at the car wash on Main Street. LOL
NE was the illest back then. Period
@ Jeff S-class
I remember that 12 Play cd. It was sick. Wonder if he was a molester back then, too?
@ e
JG could NEVER replace the King of R&B. He's just a fill in
@ Miz
Rick James was one of the best to ever do it. Very underrated. I rememba when MTV wouldn't play Super Freak video. According to them, the video was too wild. Rick James...wild??? Imagine that! LOL
No problem. I took a trip down memory lane just thinking about this blog
Good Mornting
New Edition for sure "Can you Stand The Rain"
Keith Sweat "Make it Last Forever" and "Right and a Wrong Way".
CECE Penniston "Walk on"
Lisa Fisher "How Can I Ease The Pain"
Lisa Stansfield "Been Around The World"
Bobby Brown " Tenderoni"
Guy "Piece of My love"
12Kyle, I bet you owned a polka dot shirt back then. LOL
um... ok- I was not into R&B that much in high school so feel free to laugh...
My "jam" in HS (1993; I'm not scared of my age!) was November Rain by Guns n Roses.
*awaits kyle's ridicule with side eye*
Hey baby, well back in them days my family didn't allows us to listen to music lessing it was sung at the church house. Now round the 60's me and my best friend Mabel found the world and baby we stayed in a tavern every weekend. Matta fact thats when I found a love for Crown Royal. Anyway, we loves us some blues music. My favorite song used to be by Aretha Franklin. Course that was her bf (before fatness) days. My jam as you put it was RESPECT. Baby that was my theme song back then. Oh I used to let them mens know "what you want baby I got it want you need you knows I got it" BUT chile' you betta believe they was gonna pay for it. If you know what I means. Take care now.
Signed
Ruthie Ann
Oh God, whatever Keith sweat begged about back in the day was good! Lol, and he is still doing it!
Xscape's work me slowly, I sang that while being worked slowly--the Memories!
Am I dreaming--Loved it.
You better be careful--R Kelly and Sparkle.
Silk--almost anything by them.
John Doe by public announcement.
Speaking of Rick James--Mary Jane will still make me drop it like its hot.
Shoooo I might be back to this post.
Who was I feeling in High School...
Jodeci "Come and Talk to Me"
New Edition "Can You stand the Rain"
Anything slow by BBD
Ginuwine "Only When Your Lonely"
Jade "One Woman" were are they now?
Blackstreet "Before I Let You Go"
Rapheal Saadiq "Ask of You" this song is STILL in my playlist.
Total "Can't You See"
The old school list from high school..
Commodores "Sweet Love" "Just to Be Close to You" "Sail On" "Easy" it goes on and on...
Isley Brothers "Hello, it's me" LOVED that song
My uncle was an old school DJ back when they carted around crates of vinyl. So, my old school list was fierce even as a teenager ;-)...
WOW! Thanks for the trip back down memory lane. Good times....good times.
Funny thang is that Ruthie Ann be lying he ass off. That woman know she used to listen to us some Bull Moose Johnson, Dinah Washington, and that Sam Cooke! We used to listens to them together round the time she found Crown Royal. Course, I was saved an all - never did drank...all that much.
With Love,
Mrs. Mabel
i can't remember that stuff....so some of my general faves would have to be blackstreet. e. badu had just came out. jodeci....i remember the first time i heard of them. it was when their vid came on and i was like-how do you say that word? i never liked "forever my lady" because i was kinda young and it made me feel weird to hear a song about having babies and such....but their sound was awesome
whohooo this is right up my alley!
New Edition, ANY and every love song was great, but can you stand the rain and and Lost in love, Jealous girl.

Man Brother you named all the songs me and my first love used to jam to back in high school. Our main cut was definitely "Let's Chill". I used to be a SWV groupie back in the day. I loved me some SWV and every single song was my jam!!!
LOL @ Dumb Bitch...I do believe that's what he said though!
I wasn't really into slam jams until after high school.
In high school I was the BIGGEST Janet Jackson Stan...it was all about Control, control of what I say...control of what I do...and I've got lots of it! LMAO...caught a flashback for a minute!
slam jams = slow jams
I call your name by switch, another good one.

Good list. I dunno what happened to Jade. They were hot for a minute.
Funny story about Before I Let You Go. When I was in college, I went to one of my teammates' room to drop off a book. His door was ajar. I pushed it open only to see my teammate hiding under the covers of his bed. He was singing that song to a chick. And he sounded AWFUL !!! LMAO!! Well, I couldn't hold my laughter longer than 10 seconds. I was on the floor rollin!!! Every time I hear that song...I think about that incident. LOL
@ The Pew View

C'mon now...you know you ain't doing no work right now. LOL
@ Keisha the Kitten
I was in a singing group in high school. We were pretty damn good, too. We won several local talent shows, too. One of our favorite songs was Let's Chill
@ OD
We used to have major arguments about that. I think that's what he said, too!
LMAO!!!! Get Control of yourself! Haaaaa
I graduated in '85, so this might take a minute to remember what was spinning back then but it will be in the range.
I do remember Prince's International Lover spinning somewhere between the years of '83 to '85.
