Jaye Hammer - "Party Mood"

I'm in a party mood, tell me, how about you?  I know I posted this not too long ago but I really like this 2012 semi-slow song.  It's great for a house party, bbq, or when you're just hanging with your friends.

Let's make it do what it do!!

Highway Heavy ft. Dave Mack - "Nookie & Tongue"

Grown folks music that I definitely can't play around my kids!  It's got a catchy beat and I know it appeals to a lot of people.  Maybe it's just my age showing but I don't know if it's even meant for radio - save it for the club!!

Bobby "Blue" Bland - "Sunday Morning Love"

I heard this during tonight's countdown on WDLT and while I've known this song forever, I really listened to the words.  It's a pretty intense song - and beautiful.  Here are the words:

It must be Sunday morning
Or else why do you lay your love on me so strong
It must be Sunday morning, baby
Else why do you lay your love on me so strong
It's been a long time, baby
Since this old body's been turned on

 

Whatever you're doing, baby
Take your time and do it right
Whatever...whatever you're doing, woman
Take your time and do it right
And when it gets to feelin' real good to ya, baby
I want you to squeeze and hold on tight

 

Sunday morning love
That's the kind of love I really need
Sunday morning love
That's the kind of love that I need
Aaahhhh you're always so easy, baby
And you know just how to keep me pleased

 

(I'd like to hear you sing
About my early morning love)

Could I be dreaming
Are you just the one I been looking for
Lord, I must be dreaming
Are you just the one I been looking for
Listen, I want to tell you just how much I love you
I want you to know just how sweet you are

 

Listen, Sunday morning, Sunday morning love
That's the kind of love I need
Sunday morning love
That's the kind that I need
Aaahhhh you're always so easy, baby
And you know just how to keep me pleased

Mitty Collier - "I Had A Talk With My Man"

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard!!  I love it!  I had a talk with my man last night and he reassured me everything is alright.

I had a talk with my man last night
He reassured me everything was still alright
As the night grew light?, my blues got bright
He made me know I was the star of the show
He said he was mine all to myself
And I won’t, and he won’t ever need nobody else
He took me in his arms and turned on my ?alarm
Oh yes he did, yes he did, I had a talk with my man last night

I said I sat down and had a talk
With my man last night
He filled my heart with pure delight
He told me that he needed me
More than words could ever say
And then he went on to prove it in such a sweet, sweet way

He said never again, lonely would you be
And that’s when he asked to marry me
I began to cry he kissed the tears from my weeping eyes
Oh yes he did, yes he did, I had a talk with my man last night
