just thinking of all the old soul and more contemporary r n' b classic songs...there are so many, i can't think of them and it's so frustrating as i want as many as possible to put on my iPod so i can fill my free periods much more easily...
NO ONE my age i know likes the music i like, which is classic motown/soul, and most modern R n B (i am 17 btw), so i thought i'd come here and ask for your suggestions...
i'll mention a few to get the ball rolling which i already have on there:
Old Soul
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Aretha Franklin
Say A Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin
On The Wings Of Love - Jeffrey Osbourne
Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
This Old Heart Of Mine - The Isley Brothers
Stay - Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs
Do You Love Me - Contours
Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel - Tavares
Didn't We Almost Have It All - Whitney Houston
Midnight Train To Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips
Contemporary R n B
I'll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men
Hey Ma - Cam'Ron
More Than A Woman - Aaliyah
Me & You - Cassie
No One - Alicia Keys
It's Not That Easy - Lemar
Unfaithful - Rihanna
Afrodisiac - Brandy
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this is a discussion thread as well as a suggestion thread...thanks

Good choice with Love Meeting Love by Level 42 from CroissantLover. I'd have to recommend 'Love Games' and 'Starchild' by Level 42 as well as also flagging up 'Love Meeting Love.' Sadly you only ever hear 'Lessons in Love' or 'Running in the Family' on most radio stations and occasionally 'Leaving Me Now' but Level 42's first albums are really worth checking out.
Freeez - Southern Freeze
George Benson - Love X Love
As for contemporary stuff, I think my favourite track in recent years has to be Angie Stone's 'Wish I Didn't Miss You.'
Specifically contemporary R&B, a minor uk hit for Teedra Moses around 2005 called 'I need to be your girl' is really worth checking out. I only heard it on Radio 1 once but that one play was enough to make me look for it.
Ginuwine - "Pony"
Solar Radio is a great place to hear everything from classic 60's soul, right through to the latest contemporary releases. It's available online and also as a Digital channel.
