for me, the ultimate new jack motown track
I'm Dutch. Please explain: what means "New Jack Motown"?
I'm NOT Dutch but I'd like to know what it means too.
I'm not sure it's my taste to be honest.

There was a trend or popular sound in hip hop or soul music during the mid 1980s when beat or bass driven music which fused elements of hip hop and dance music with contemporary R&B - referred to as New Jack Swing, created by Teddy Riley and others, was popular. There was no real New jack Motown. Motown was following a trend by then.

Then, the girls came along and we had "New Jill Swing".
Hey Blueskies ..
I loved "Don't Walk Away" by JADE ..
Getting back to the NJS acts on Motown .. this was my favourite by TODAY .. "Why You Wanna Get Funky On Me" ..

Thank you Roger
Now let's not forget the "Good Girls"!
There is a New Jack Swing Gold compilation that is pretty good.

Now for Motown's VERY best entry into "New Jack Swing" here's Johnny Gill and "Rub You The Right Way"!
Yes, this was a great idea for a thread. Really enjoyed music from this era. Also around this time was "Free Style", but, that's another thread. I think Expose was a good example of this as many other groups/singers.

Anybody remember Milira, LA LA, Red Bandit, Truly Yours, Gerald Alston, Zane??? Where they all go?..Paulo xxx
Gerald Alston went back to the Manhattans if I am not mistaken.
Zhane only did two albums to my recollection. They haven't done anything since then. I recall reading an article about their whereabouts years ago and I believe one of them is teaching music or something along those lines.
At that time, I believe Teddy Riley was with his group on MCA label, which distributed Motown. It seemed easy for members of a group on MCA to record solo on Motown [[Michael Bivins' "Biv Ten" artists, Joyce "Fenderella" Irby, et al). You also had Another Bad Creation, The Boys, The Whitehead Brothers. Jheryl Busby headed Motown then.
Who headed MCA during this period [[late 80s - early 90s)?
Lance-B..Thank you for the update..Paulo XXX
