President Version - I Roy
When I had a chack I turned her on to all kinds of stuff. I used to make mix tapes just for her. She really liked "Baby Let Me Take You (in my arms)", McDonald & Giles, Christie McVie to name a few. She was the best girl I've ever had. I remember this time she went with me on a crazy mission into deep mexico to look for records at Swaps etc... It took all day and we didn't find shit and we saw many 3 legged dogs and many poor and dirty people and lifestyles.
Sometimes I really miss her a lot.
Other times really I don't.

Anthony Hamilton "Charlene" (way before it was a hit and before most common folk knew anything about the boy A.H.)
Kem (his whole debut album)
Erykah Badu & Wyclef Jean "I'm In Love With You"
Minnie Riperton "Come Inside Me"
Lots of smoothed out modern soulish and neo soulish joints. Can't get her to stop rockin' all the latest 50 Cent shit, though! (she ain't really into rap but girlfriend LOVES her some 50 Cent!)
yup
also Bobby Valentino "Slow Down"
"Still Tippin"
reggaeton
...Inside My Love, right?
Stark's "Dreams"
Ray Bryant's "Up Above The Rock"
Co-sign on Anthony Hamilton (that voice does something real deep people)
Anything Donny Hathaway
Anything Otis Redding...
I don't flex my wax on her too much now though. I'll play a clip every now and then of something new I think might catch her ear. She has great taste in music, but I can tell when she tunes out and it's not that tight to be left standing there all hype about whatever's on the platter if the other person's not as into it as you are.

She did just come home and I saw what she was listening to on her iPod: Leroy Hudson "Lucky Fellow"
Still, if one of my CD's is mysteriously missing from the shelf (which is often), I know it's 'cos she took it to drive around with.
I got her all amped up on puss filled blood shitters.
my girl has really taken a shine to this song since i 1st played it for her (i'm not joking)
wow.
ella fitzgerald - sunshine of your love
and still tippin!!!!! A BIG WIN FOR A GIRL WHO STILL PLAYS BLACK STAR AND THE FUGEES REGULARLY
Not my words. Talk amongst yourselves.
PS I've found the gaffes in this post to be funny, including "Come Inside Me" (Freudian slip) and "puss" instead of pus.

T.N.
She LOVES Edan and MF Doom now, as well as heaps of funky jazz stuff I dig.
One of the most prominent would have the be David Liebman's 'The Opal hearted Aborigine.'
Yeah... we call it "Come Inside Me", though. It's a long story so I won't bore you all with the details... you already know how it ends.
and "Classic Girl" - Jane's Addiction
She got me to check out some Dylan and (gasp!) some Grateful Dead (that one with Branford isn't half bad) and I got her listening to Yellow Sunshine and a whole bunch of other shit.
Recently she brought this home from work asking "have you ever heard of a guy named DJ Premier?". I never knew he did a song on this:
She also had me listening to alot more nina simone and shit like that when we were boning.
Lamont Dozier- Shine
Donny Hathaway-A song for you
Ben e King-Supernatural
Maze-You
Though she doesn't really like it when i sing along to the line "there has been lot's of women but none quite like you"
