Put You On Game: Favorite R&B Joints.

This week on Once Upon a Time in Music, EL and Cheryl Poison slow things all the way down and tap into their favorite R&B joints — the deep cuts, the late-night vibes, and the songs you might’ve skipped back in the day but need to hear again right now.

From ’70s soul to 2000s R&B, the crew puts listeners on to hidden gems and timeless classics from artists like Prince, Marvin Gaye, Bootsy Collins, Jodeci, Music Soulchild, Toni Braxton, Ginuwine, Kelly Price, Mariah Carey, Jhené Aiko, The Isley Brothers, Intro, and more. If you love smooth vocals, grown-folk music, and records that still hit no matter the era, this one’s for you.

They also jump into Kiss, Marry, Kill, run a Price Tag Check comparing then vs. now, talk new music and mixed reviews, spotlight a classic album anniversary, and reminisce about mixtapes, Columbia House CDs, and how certain songs just feel different when they come on late at night.

This episode is pure vibes, laughs, nostalgia, and R&B love — and by the end, it’s clear this one needs a Part 2.

 Press play, grab your pen for the playlist, and ride out with Once Upon a Time in Music.

SPEAKER_02 27:31

You know what it is, I think if I hear something on the radio so much or too much You don't like it no more, yeah. But I probably still would listen to the whole album, and the album probably would have songs on it. So I think a lot of that with genuine albums, like genuine games.

SPEAKER_05 50:04

So there was no album.

SPEAKER_02 50:06

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_07 50:07

SPEAKER_05 59:59

Yeah. I know Joe D going to do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:01

Jodice RB groups, number one, probably. For me. I'm not counting temptations and all of that. Jodice was my era. So that's where it starts. That's where your era started at Joe D? It gotta be. I don't think I listened to any other RB groups before them. I'm not gonna say eh. New edition, cool, but Joe Dice to me.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:26

I like some old school groups too, like the OJs.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:29

See, I can't put them in front of Joe to see each other. They have some joy crazy songs, but Joe Dice.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:38

SPEAKER_02 1:01:24

I came down south and a cousin had a system in his car. He played this for me. And ever since then.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:30
