Yesterday I was challenged by one of my readers to come to the table with a song that promoted the positive side of love. Well I decided to do her one better, and share some of my favorite songs that do just that. Enjoy my selections, and feel free to add your own picks to the list. I’ll tell you what; I’ll even add your songs to the list, and we’ll keep a running tab of our favorite love songs. If it’s a song that you think I may not have, email it to me at flyguychronicles@gmail.com. Let’s see how long we can make this post. Oh, and there’s one other stipulation. Try to challenge us with songs that have never been released as singles. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

OMG…great post. How about Special Lady by Carl Thomas…that’s my choice!!!!
Hey Ive got a couple, “So High” by John Legend and “Mo Better” by Raheem DeVaughn.
oh yeah and “Love Drug” by Raheem Devaughn
Nice list, I agree with Cherish about So High by John Legend. Here’s a few of mine.
Kiss from a Rose – Seal i know you said no singles but this song is awesome!!! lol
My All – Mariah Carey okay know this was a single too but it was also hott.lol
I Love Me Some Him – Toni Braxton
There’s no Me Without You – Toni Braxton, what? I went through a Toni phase..lol
those are just a few..
i thought i was the only mista fan in the world….lol
Just Like That on TP2.com…i am almost positive that wasn’t released as a single….looooooooooooooooove that song yall should go google it and read the lyrics, deep stuff…lol
Oh FG, I was just messin’ with you when I said it.. but you came correct! This will be fun. I’m going to have to dig in the crates and see what I can come up with! BRB…
okay i thought about one more, lol it was single but many people don’t really listen to her like that
Those Sweet Words – Norah Jones, okay i promise i’m done.
I’m about to make these updates, and Chrissy, stop trying to be like me ;-)
lol @ FG, i BEEN a mista fan from the jump, my fav song by them was Lady, altho that was a single….i wore that cd out when i got it…
yeah yeah yeah. Tell me anything. You’ve been trying to be like me since day one…lol
Cherish’s picks are up…
Wait a minute. Some of these posts are singles. Can we, or can we not post singles?
Anyway, I’m going to go with Mint Condition So Fine. That was my joint. Still is.
Tubbs, your pick is up. And yes, the point is to pick songs that weren’t released as singles. Expand our musical consciousness
and for the record Bahama, I think you picked ALL singles….every single last one of them…lol
awww, this is going to be fun
LOL @ Bahama- I feel you on those picks girl. But yeah, they are all singles…lol. Hey FG, what about some old 112. Remember that “I WIll Be There Song” ? Well if you can find it, that would be my pick! Thanks! You’re the best!
You guys have picked some good songs. I need a sec to really come with a good one
Yo, cool post FG. I’ll see what I can come up with. And I’m with Crissy. I thought I was the only one up on Mista. I wore that CD out when they came out!!!. I still remember them performing on Teen Summitt. LMAO!
If and when I ever get married I’m hiring Boyz II Men to sing “I Do” from their album, Nathan, Michael, Shawn, Wanya. I still think “Thank You In Advance” is an awesome song, even though it didn’t do so well on the radio (sorry for mentioning a single).
“Love Is Still Enough” by Savory, off the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack. This song could also go on the “Between the Sheets” playlist :)
Bahama’s picks are up…
FG you got me, i aspire to be just like you when i grow up….lol
No I definitely don’t believe that. According to you, I’m not even real.
LMAO those two Toni songs were NOT singles, they were just widely known,lol…okay i’ll post non singles then.But those songs i listed were still HOT tho. lol
Girl In the Life Magazine – Boyz 2 Men, tell me that’s a single?? lol
that’s all i can think of right now
Hot songs everyone! I can’t believe no one has mentioned my baby daddy Prince. My two picks are Diamonds and Pearls and Adore. BTW, I’m taking notes on everyone else’s posts
LOL @ Bahama
Okay here is some of mine:
Chrisette Michele:love is you
Eric Roberson: Head to Toe
Dwele: Without You
Jill Scott: Not like Crazy
Kindred: Star
**Update- Bahama’s Picks aka The Singles’ Hall of Fame
^^^SHUT IT, lmmfao
Okay after this I’m done.
From the Love JOnes Soundtrack
Cassandra Wilson: You move me
Duke Ellington: In a Sentimental Mood
Althought Duke’s doesn’t have any words, its like you can feel the love as he plays. It jst makes you want to fall in love with somebody, or think about the person that you love as son as the horn hits.
No I definitely don’t believe that. According to you, I’m not even real.
^^^^^we back on that again, lol you real FG, feel better now?
**update–All singles have been removed. (I’m not sure what Bahama is going to do. Just sit and watch everyone else I guess)
Nikki P – I *LOVE* the Love Jones Soundtrack! Still listen to it all the time.
Let’s Stay In Love – Blackstreet
I’ll Be There – Eric Benet
Holy Smokes & Gee Wiz – Tony! Toni! Tone!
I Wanna Love You – Donell Jones
Songbird– I play it out. That movie is the reason why I wanted to go to Chicago.
@Chrissy…not really. No…lol
@Nikki P – I hear ya. It put me on the lookout for open mic nites near me… unfortunately no Larenz Tates were frequenting those joints. :(
Everyone of mine is already on the list. Cherish I am especially lovin’ your pick!
“KEEP LOVE IN YOUR LIFE”
*sitting and watching*
;-)
My pick would be “I’m In Love” by Mary J. Blige. It was on the Mary CD and it may be a remake but it is so simple and to the point. Loves it.
Here’s one to add to the list, FG:
Gift from Virgo by Beyonce: although the song is short, I absolutely love it, I haven’t listened to it in a while cause it evoked the way I felt about my ex to a T. I might have to go and listen to it right now!
