Editor Pick: Houston “Ain’t Nothing Wrong”
It’s unfortunate his eye gouging incident will overshadow basically everything Houston did musically. I’m not sure how many people actually remember this song, but it actually is a really nice track. I’m not really sure what Houston is doing these…

[audio:http://www.ykigs.com/1094.mp3] It was always been a head scratcher to me how Deborah Cox released this song on her self titled debut album in 1995, and then Mya released her own version of the song a few years later on her…

Classic Vibe: Babyface "For the Cool in You" (1993)
Even though it may never have been reflected in record sales, I’ve always felt that Babyface was one of the most talented artists in r&b. Besides his silky smooth voice, he is also a masterful writer who has penned hits…
