Hey nrgbeat,
I totally agree with you. Kids, this is what a classic "morning music" or if you prefer, "sleaze" set, was all about: slow, sexy tempos with glorious vocals, served up on a tasteful platter by a DJ with excellent taste. My compliments to the chef, John Ceglia. I'm bowing towards the East (I hope that's where you still reside).
For the record, this is the playlist (correct me if I'm wrong)
1) "Hot Butterfly" - Greg Diamond's Bionic Boogie feat. Luther Vandross
2) "Love For The Sake Of Love" - Claudja Barry
3) "Be Thankful For What You Got" - William DeVaughn
4) "Take Off Your Makeup" - Lamont Dozier
5) "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" - The Spinners
6) "Pull Yourself Together" - Buddy Miles
7) " That Girl" - Stevie Wonder
"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" - Hall & Oates

Ok, that's a sampling of the songs I'd like to hear in THE ULTIMATE MORNING MUSIC SET. Working from approx. 90 BPM to approx. 110 BPM, these songs, plus others that are eluding me at the moment, would make me a very happy dancer. And as I get older, dancing slower seems like an excellent idea, so you could literally dance the night away.
Anyone have any other titles to add?
Let's compile a definitive list.
