Karyn White on October 14: R&B Legend Shines
Happy 61st birthday to Karyn White. Before her solo run, the Los Angeles singer was the voice on Jeff Lorber's 'Facts of Love'. Her 1988 debut, produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, made her a star. Its first three singles, 'The Way You Love Me', 'Superwoman' and 'Secret Rendezvous', all went to No. 1 on the R&B chart.

Why Younger Generations Love 70s and 80s R&B
Most people under 35 didn't choose Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker or Freddie Jackson. A parent's car radio chose for them, or a cookout that ran past dark.

If half this carousel is already in your library, the age on your ID isn't telling the whole story. Playlist curated by RNB Tomi.
