Those Bond soundtracks definitely have some joints on em, it must have been good living in the UK and growing up on those. The Living Daylights by A-Ha is another, and I think Never In Your Wildest Dreams by Tina Turner may be at the end credits of Living Daylights when Tim Dalton is in the pool with that girl.Quote:

LOL@London posting Oran Juice Jones In The Rain song hahahahahahaha. That song is funny especially when he starts talking at the end to a woman. LOL@him saying my first impulse was to run up on you and do a Rambo hahahahahahahaha. Whip out the jammy and bust both of you LOL. I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry i ever bought you LOL. I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags, blue diamonds. I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce LOL. Silly rabbit. Trix are made for kids. Didn't you know that? LOL. You without me is like Corn Flakes without the milk LOL. He's a funny guy. I got his first album and it sucks but he has a jam on there called Curiosity and that's a tight jam. He talks at the beginning of the song and he's talking to a woman and he's dissing her LOL.
I don't think too many people knew he had a small part in Juice movie with 2Pac, Omar Epps, Samuel Jackson. He was talking to Samuel at the video arcade place that Samuel worked at and him and Samuel was talking about women. Samuel said to him, just because you pour syrup on shit don't make it pancakes, you know what i'm saying hahahahahahahahaha. Samuel said i don't know why you thought the booty was that tough LOL. Oran said that's because she got the snappy nappy dugout LOL.
^My song of the day. It's a nice day outside so I felt the mood to hear this one from the legendary Quincy Jones. He and Patti Austin was one of the artists that made magic when they collaborated.
That album "The Dude" sure is a piece of work, it's got production and synth work by Stevie, Greg Phillinganes, vocal contributions by MJ, and more great guest spots.
@charlesjones
ha ha, i didn't even clock on to the fact that oran juice jones was in that 'juice' scene, i remember that scene in that movie vividly though, i just didn't clock on it was oran juice jones, ha ha
@fatboybrandon
yeah the music from the early bond movies were very soulful and sick
here's another decent bond movie tune from the mid 80's
duran duran-view to a kill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsiBhQ60rJE
dennis edwards ft siedah garrett-don't look any further(some slick shit)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH3rx8LhrQo
I remember Quincy Jones The Dude album. I haven't heard it in a long time. Fatboybrandon, can you post the links to James Ingram's One Hundred Ways song and Patti Austin's Razzamatazz song from The Dude album? I wanna hear those songs because they're my favorites on there. Wunded Fox, thanks for posting the Loose Ends song and Stephanie Mills song. I like those songs. I also like Loose Ends Slow Down and Watching You songs and i like Stephanie Mills Something In The Way You Make Me Feel and The Power Of Love songs. Ya'll remember Bobby Womack's If You Think Your Lonely Now song? That song is funny when he talks at the beginning of the song. He says i hope ya'll don't mind if i talk about this woman of mine. She always talking about i ain't never at home but when i'm there, i'm broke LOL. She always complaining about what her girlfriends got and what she ain't got hahahahahahahahahahaha. She want me to go out and get em for her but baby i can't be at two places at one time LOL. That's a classic song. I got his album The Poet that has If You Think Your Lonely Now. K-Ci of Jodeci did a remake of that song and he did a good job. Bobby is from my hometown Cleveland, Ohio. My grandfather told me that he met Bobby before.
Fatboybrandon and Wunded Fox, can ya'll post the links to these 80's r&b songs? I wanna hear the whole songs and not snippets of them if you don't mind.

i didn't even know bobby womack was from cleveland, thats big, he had a very soulful and gutta voice, his shit was sick
I didn't know Bobby was from Cleveland either until my grandfather told me. I also didn't know boxing promoter Don King was from Cleveland until my grandfather told me that too. My grandfather said to me about him, yeah i know that nigga Don LOL. He grew up on Cedar Avenue and he was a slick ass nigga as a teenager hahahahahahahahahaha. My grandfather was a funny guy and i miss him. He died in 2004. It's several famous blacks from Cleveland like Terrence Howard, Steve Harvey, Halle Berry, Arsenio Hall, r&b singer Avant, r&b singer Gerald Levert, Kym Whitley, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Paula Jai Parker, Jaszmin Lewis, r&b group Dazz Band. R&B singer Howard Hewett of Shalamar is from Akron, Ohio and r&b funk legend Roger Troutman of Zapp is from Dayton, Ohio. R&B group Slave is from Dayton, Ohio. I think r&b group The Ohio Players are from Dayton also. 80's r&b groups Midnight Star and The Deele used to have their fan club address in Cincinnati.

cythia lauper-time after time(i saw her on the news on tv in the morning before i reached college, i forgot all about her, she's a deep lady wit a soulful voice, big up her up, some classic soulful pop from the 80's, thats an older(older generation, our aunts, mums & granny's) wit class, dignity, shame & pride, salute)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBfocT0NeEs
You mean Cyndi Lauper? She's wack. I can't believe you like her LOL.
ha ha, i mean don't get me twisted or anything fam, i ain't got any of her albums or even heard any of them, but the two tunes i have heard of her, 'time after time' & 'girls wanna have fun' were 80's pop tunes that had a little soul to it that i remember as nostalgicQuote:

and she's a deep older from that inteview she gave on that news programme too, big her up, ha ha
90's r&b group Changing Faces are hot. I wanna fuck them LOL. I don't like their music but they're cute.
ha ha, your a funny guy, for real, thats jokes, but yeah, no question, they had cute faces, but were a bit too slim for my liking, ha ha, but they wern't butters(ugly) or nuthin, don't get it twisted, big up changing faces though, seriously like, they had good tunes on there albums and had sexy voices, it matched there music and what they sang mostly about, it made sense, yes surr, ha ha, you need to check these tunes from there first albumQuote:

and there second album had a lot of decent tunes on there
i'll try find some on youtube and post them
I saw their Stroke You Up and Foolin Around videos back in the day.
ay bro, no one is gonna post your fucking video's.
I don't like a lot of female singers because they sing too many love songs and love songs are boring to me. Some love songs i can tolerate but most of them i can't. I like En Vogue's first album Born To Sing and i like a couple of songs on their Funky Divas album. My favorite song by them is Don't Go on their first album. Cindy is the hottest girl in the group. I wanna fuck her LOL. She was Omar Epps woman in Juice movie with 2Pac. Remember Brownstone, SWV, Total? I like Brownstone's Grapevyne and 5 Miles To Empty songs. Lelee who was in SWV is the cutest girl in the group. I like Total's Kissing You song. I think the lead singer Keisha in Total is married to Omar Epps. I can't believe he left hot black actress Sanaa Lathan for her hahahahahahahahaha. She isn't as cute as Sanaa.
