Recent events have made us inclined to dig us this R&B gem. Released in late 1986, it became her one crossover hit. Shirley's vocals are very admirable here and some R&B stars could take note. She sings the verses in a soft, but soulful tone before breaking out into the belting, holler your head off vocals at the end. "As We Lay" is a great, timeless R&B ballad.. so timeless, Kelly Price broke the charts with it all over again in 2000.

Jennifer Lopez's use of this song. Oh thanks -- I was thinking perhaps you were involved with a married lady. :) |

I liked this song. It sounded like something from the 1950s or 60s. That could have something to do with how poorly it fared on the charts (R&R it only peaked at 34).

great r&b slow jam . sadly r&b is not about the big powerful voices anymore.
