Boyz II Men's "Water Runs Dry" is my favorite single from the album.
I love K-Ci and JoJo's "freakin" bridge at the end of "Freek-N-You". lol. The parent album was ahead of its time.

This was a great list. Even my bottom 2 songs mid at best. I'd love for my number 1 to pull an upset but I can't see it happening.

Those are Two of my Favorite Karyn White songs!
I also LOVED first single from the album “Hungah”.
I recently have been listening to “Can I Stay With You” a lot again.
The bridge still gets me!
She goes in!
I was always surprised none of the singles took off and then Karyn basically disappeared.
She along with Jody Watley were favorites of that time.

I'm on it. "Waterfalls", "Dear Mama", "Big Poppa", "Feel Me Flow", and "Every Little Thing I Do" would have all been contenders for very high placings on my rankings. Surprised at most of them not hitting #1.

Sent. Definitely a very solid list. None of my absolute favourites are on it, so my #1 caught me a bit off-guard. But all of the songs but one were at least decent, IMO. #13 was an easy choice, as it was the only one that did nothing for me. A bit worried about how far my #12 might go, but we will see. Like I said, I still find it decent.
