I was born in 86, so old school to "me" may be different than what you were looking for.

However If I needed to put one song on the list.....

Case ft. Foxy Brown & Mary J Blige "Touch Me Tease Me"

FTW!!!

There's a cat on the board by the name of "Discobee" he puts out very tight old school rnb mixes

looking for more warm up stuff like for example "lucy pearl- i wanna dance tonight" and "rapheal sadiq get involved" anything simalir to the jams. thank you.

if you want warm up stuff in that same range and mood try:

ascenion or sumthin sumthin - maxwell
for the night - musiq soulchild
music - eric sermon
hey mister d.j. - zhane
you bring me joy - mary j. blige

i find that playing older music you don't really understand and personally appreciate is impossible though. in other words, if it didn't already occur to you to play these records or you don't have never been to parties where these records might be played, you probably can't look at a crowd and figure out the right time to drop records like this. you really have to know the psychology of that crowd: what they will think is cool, vs just old. flavorful vs too mainstream.

Not really old school but I love that song. If I were a one hit wonder R&B singer I wish I sang that song.

benny b, i really like your mixes, i also downloaded your feel good mix, awesome job!

i work at a club that sometimes have an older crowd that come in and socialize early hours. so this music is perfect for them.
