Yes - Trackademicks is great. Loads of good remixes from him out there:

One of the best R&B tunes ever.

I'm currently watching a Music 4 programme called 'Mariah: From the Beginning'.

Well, from this song on, she is great.

Then there's Honey.

And this, her crowning achievment. (Undeniabely beautiful song, sung with consummate ease.)

Any serious Motown or Northern Soul fans cannot fail to love Mariah's best moments.

She has a fantastic husky smoke-filled speaking voice too, and a filthy wit. She's a good thing, generally.

And this is another big one for me. I was heartbroken when this came out, so it spoke volumes to me! I remember being drunk and singing it in a petrol station while attempting to buy cigarettes. I was a mess.

I mean, bless them, this is exactly how you feel sometimes.

Darned cockwombles.
"Wait a minute...this is too deep...gotta change the station..."

Brilliant.

"Bobby Womack's on the radio, saying to me....if you think you're lonely now..."

A gorgeous, gorgeous song.

And yes, 'Creep' is, to me, indubitably the finest RnB tune I have ever heard.

i love the dream album, crappy lyrics and slightly ropey/squeamish r kelly 'chanelling' aside. easily the best r&b 'album' ive heard in a while.
