  • Great picks
  • The Three Degrees?! I knew the song, but not the singers. Reminds me of Dreamgirls. ;).
  • You know you are saying somethin' with Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes. This is still one of my favorite jams!
  • SjP

  • Here we goooo! Nice choice!
  • IVE SEEN THE ojays like 3 times now, great choices
  • hey lady!!
    As usual we are in sync! LOL! I have 2 of your 3 going on at my spot! I'm telling you Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes ...{shakes head} there are no words!!!
    The ladies are smooth, and classy. Female singers today need to go back to school (Old School) and learn a few things!! There is no gyrating, no exposed body parts, but they still come off as being sexy!!!
    great picks!
    Have an awesome weekend!
  • I am grooving! Real grown folks music!
  • *miss you, miss you, miss you*
    You certainly killed it, it just went from better to best. That song just gets me from the intro to the end.
  • Damn! Got my eyes all closed swayin' to the music. Good stuff!
  • This is sho'nuf grown folks' music !
  • Happy OSF!

    I tell you great minds think alike :smile:

    I did the 3 degrees too. These were the "lady's" back in the day.

    I also did Harold Melvin and the Blue notes. Teddy was the master controller of this group.
  • That's my jam... When will I see you again... What? You pulling it out the crates. Go ahead with your bad self.

    Have a great weekend. Thank you for giving me a great start.
