[grk_styl]

My brother's having his 21st party in 2 weeks, and i'm making some cds. I wanna make an 80's old school r&b cd, and google search is a bitch.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Stuff like "return of the mack" - mark morrison
"we don't have to take our clothes off"
etc

how bout black michael jaskson's old 80's songs and "kiss" i know its the 70ish but it was still popular at the time and songs themes from 80's horror movies and old school skate videos!

i dunno if these fit into rnb but.

kc and the sunshine band - shake shake shake, get down tonight, thats the way i like it

lionel ritchie - all night long

kool and the gang - get down on it

not very rnb-ish. but they'll get people dancing and they're in that old school vein.

or you could just put on a rick james cd.

fat man scoop came out with a version last year or 2003 of somethin, and it came out in clubs and everyones like 'oh bro i love this lionel richie guy is he new bro ive always loved him'

 

[iwannarock]

thank god i haven't heard it. i didn't even know it existed.

it happens a lot. especially with dance music. hahah there are so many people exactly like you describe. so many songs from the 70's and 80's being redone these days and people think they're amazing.

anyway, whats that rnb song, goes i wanna get freaky with you/wanna lick you up and downetc . by a group called silk something like that. it was in the ali g movie. that might be good. its 90's but.

ah im no help with rnb songs lol.

when a thread asks "hey, whats some good glam rock/hair metal songs for a party?" well sir...............thats where i'll be a viking.

 

[SashatheMan]

yes

Silk - Freak Me


but is it really a party track. its more like a bedroom track

 

[SashatheMan]

i thought of some more older tracks


Five Stairsteps - Ooh Child (Things Are Going To Get Easier)
bootsy collins - I rather be with you
Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love
Marvin Gaye - Lets Get It On [ this track is used on MTV ads warning people when adult content is coming up]
The Spinners - I'll Be Around
Keith Sweat - Nobody
prince - the_beautiful_ones

thanks guys. great list. i started going through an 80s website i found, and got some great classics like george michael, cyndi lauper, jermaine stewart etc. while they;re not r&b, they're great party tracks.

Marvin Gaye is an absolute classic

 

[SashatheMan]

well make sure u get these then

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
b52's love shack

great party favourites
