SWV - Rain (Official Video)

[@ebonpaladin]

Anyone here in 2024? I first heard this group in '92; I was visiting VA from NY and decided to stick around (for a few years as it would turn out). I was instantly in love with these girls despite never having laid eyes on them at that time. They became and still remain my favorite girl R&B group from the 90s...this album, every track was fire. I miss those days.

It's beautiful to hear a contemporary R&B song embrace jazz but still remain relevant to the conversation of what was on the radio upon its release.

[@Readyplayer8]

Appreciate the respect and love shown for the late great Jazz instrumentalists Jaco Patorious.

This song just randomly popped in my head and here I am. What a beautiful song, beautiful voices, beautifully produced.

[@DavidBaronStevensPersonal]

First time I heard this it struck me so hard, and I didn't know why I was also new into my study of jazz and realised later that this harmony is from Jaco Pastorius' Portrait of Tracy, one of the most sophisticated pieces ever written. I was so lucky to grow up in the 90s when music was so deep below the surface but still hit the way pop should. This one hasn't gotten old one bit.

[@titoquinonez4528]

I literally came to this song after hearing Jaco’s Portrait of Tracy in hopes I wasn’t the only one who hears it 😭

[@AnthonySmith-ki2yz]

The melody in this song was inspired by my favorite musician -Jaco Pastorius on his 1976 self titled album. The song is titled “Portrait of Tracy”. Masterfully done!

[@DwayneETowns]

Thanks bro let them know the back story facts✔️

[@AnthonySmith-ki2yz]

@@DwayneETowns Thanks. Jaco was a phenomenal musician who died in a terrible way. He didn’t get the credit he deserved due to his battle with mental illness which ultimately led to his murder. I was very glad to hear his influence on this song.

[@DwayneETowns]

@@AnthonySmith-ki2yz When SWV did their rendition, they introduced a whole new generation to Jaco Postorius,s genius. I witness him live with Weather Report 1977 in Royal Oak,Mi.

[@AnthonySmith-ki2yz]

@@DwayneETowns Jaco, Joe and Wayne. That had to be special! Unfortunately, Jaco had passed away by the time I learned of him in the early 90s. After meeting his ex wife, Ingrid (RIP) and his sons Felix and Julius at Sam Ash music store, I found out that we lived in the same city.

It's not a bad album but she's right,the label only featured the rap artists on this album to keep the marriage of hip hop and R/B together. Now every r/b artists get a feature on a hip hop track or the other way around. Just my opinion 💯💯
