This future R&B diva would make it big in a 70s funk band, performing a Stevie Wonder written tune, among others. As a solo artist, she would cover Prince and Gary Wright songs, perform a ballad produced and co-written by David Foster, later used as a sped up sample for an early 2000s rap classic, and collaborate with Steve Winwood for one of his chart-topping 80s hits. Her songs have been covered by multiple artists, including Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Peabo Bryson, Diana King, and LL Cool J.

Playlist request 90s & 2000s

I am born in the early 90s and since a couple of days I listen to more 90s and early 2000s RnB more again - I feel now nostalgic and happy I feel.

Can you recommend me great playlists on Apple Music (besides the ones by Apple) and on YouTube ? Or your absolute favourite songs in the comments to build my own ones

Thank you!!

Trying to find an R&B Song

I have been trying to find out the name of the song and artist for years! It is a male artist and he kinda sounds like Stevie Wonder a bit. It is an 80s or possibly a 90s r&b song with the lyrics:

If you feel like I feel then you know my love is real and real is what you said you’re looking for. I don’t believe in wasting time, I’ve got to say what’s on my mind. I’m in love with you, just thought I’d let you know.

Chorus: Even if you think I’m crazy, excuse me if I act a fool I just can’t help it, baby. I’m so in love with you.
