Happy 60th to the blueprint of modern pop and r&b! Song in particular is still as relevant as ever

Quality r&b projects that I know will be overshadowed by more mid droppings from bigger artists

Was worth literally every penny! The showmanship, musicianship, vocals, etc EVERYTHING

Underrated gem from his seminal songs in the key of life album!

My favorite artist of all time! Still the greatest to ever do it

I get the criticisms (association with CB, too much vocal processing, a bit stagnant artistically, tho I’d apply all of these criticisms to the problems with r&b at large) but it all feels very sudden after the success she’s been having.

He’s the man!

Classic off of the seminal I want You

A song for mama by Boyz II Men is an obvious choice lol but I feel like there are others

Also my mom played a lot of the r&b she grew up with (the 70s) so that’s what I gravitate towards

Happy Mother’s Day btw

From Mic the Snare. Usually wouldn’t cover channels like this but I thought this was a cool dive into his catalog

One of my favorite post SITKOL songs

Overall I thought it was a 7/10. They missed out on huge parts of his early life including Diana Ross and the Wiz, but I enjoyed the performances. Jaafar was especially solid as MJ! Got his mannerisms down pat!

Damn near a quarter century old, can’t believe it!
