#77. Damian Dame - "Right Down To It"
Damian Dame's first two singles were major R&B hits, both reaching the Top 5 of the chart. Tragically, this track would be their last major hit. Both members passed away in the mid-90s, and they never had the chance to repeat the success of their first album.

#76. Guy - "Groove Me"
This was Guy's first Top 10 R&B single. They'd go on to reach the Top 10 with 8 different tracks in the late 80's and 90's, and Teddy Riley would of course become the leading producer of the New Jack era.

It's No Crime is a JAM (well, Babyface is a genius after all) and I would think Groove Me went to #1 on R&B, that's one of the new jack swing songs I hear most on radio and in clubs/parties.

I could sit here and hurt my wrist pressing the like on every video. I know people think I only listen to Mariah Carey but these are the songs I actually listen to most when I'm not listening to Mariah Carey. Epic.  |

I haven't heard Can't Stop in YEARS! I forget Babyface was so prolific in this era.
Is It Good To You is a jam.
Good Enough has always been a favorite of mine, that's the mother of Bruno Mars' Straight Up And Down.
Brian's fine self and that voice, oooh!
Hold On is a legendary classic, no debating that. The intro and the production, everything!
Karyn White is one of my favorites and TWIFAY slays me. I listen to that song weekly!
I like anything TLC. :)
I hope some Jasmine Guy tracks make it, Try Me and Another Like My Lover are BOPS!
