Artist//Song Title//Album
01 - R. Kelly - Bump 'N' Grind - 12 Play
This song took Ace of Base's "The Sign" out of the #1 spot on billboard charts. One of my favorite R&B songs of all time.
02 - Aaliyah - Back & Forth - Age Ain't Nothing but A Number
This song was actually written by R. Kelly himself.
03 - SWV - Anything (remix feat. Wu Tang) - The Remixes EP
This OG version of this song was released on the 'It's About Time' record in 1992, but this remix was issued on the 1994 release 'The Remixes EP' and I like this version better.
04 - Tony Braxton - I Belong To You - Toni Braxton
This Album came out in 1993, but this song was released W/O video as a single in 1994 as her 5th single off this record. Great song, and there are a ton of authorized different versions of it.
05 - Janet Jackson - And On and On - Any Time, Any Place Single
This is actually the B-side to the U.S. version of the Any Time, Any Place single from her 5th studio album 'Janet'.
06 - Mariah Carey - Without You - Music Box
Though the album was released in 1993, this song was not made a single until 1994. Mariah Carey also released a X-mas album in 1994.
07 - Jodeci - Feenin' - Diary of a Mad Band
An album in 1993 and single in 1994 again. This is off of their 2nd album. Jodeci is a seminal R&B artist of the 1990's.
08 - R. Kelly - Your Body's Calling Me - 12 Play
What can I say? R. Kelly puts in work and it pays off. Norman Brown covers this song in 1996 (not as good) and Biggie actually uses a sample from this song for "It's Unbelievable" on 'Ready to Die'.
09 - All 4 One - I Swear - All 4 One
This is originally a country song by John Micheal Montgomery. This version is better.
10 - Boys II Men - I'll Make Love To You - II
This song was #1 on the Billboard charts for 14 weeks and was also written by Babyface. This track won a Grammy the following year in 1995.
1994 R&B mix
11 - Eamon - Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back) - I Don't Want You Back
What the fuck was I thinking not putting this on the main mix? I can't believe I almost forgot this hit. Oh well, here it is to download. This is one of the greatest R&B songs ever written. Straight up fucking crazy. Also, Donkey Lips from Salute Your Shorts later takes this song and makes it his own. Try and find it, it's pretty hilarious.
Enjoy and get ready for 1995. It was a great year.
I can't wait to go home and close the curtains so the I can dance in my living room in peace. Don't need my neighbors seeing how great this mix is.
ReplyDeleteThe tags came out all weird in iTunes and I can't find half the songs. Otherwise all these songs are siick.
