- Bell Biv Devoe: Poison. Once you hear the first snare of this jam, people on the dance floor automatically start doing the running man. Bell Biv Devoe features half of New Edition and is one of the first examples of blending R&B and hip-hop pre-Jodeci.
- Mariah Carey – Fantasy. Choosing the best R&B jam from the Mariah Carey cannon is like picking your favorite child, the woman has had No.1 hits every decade since she hit her first falsetto note, but “Fantasy” combines all of the elements of Mimi.
- Ginuwine – Pony. Not to be outdone, Ginuwine’s sonic love letter to lady-on-top has what is quite possibly the most unmistakable beat in R&B history, along with the least subtle metaphor ever written.
- Montell Jordan: This Is How We Do It. This is the ultimate party starter that has stood the test of time. “It’s Friday niiight and I feel alright! ,” Montell Jordan sang over a sampled loop of Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story.”

- Aaliyah, “Are You That Somebody?” (1998) The greatest R&B song of the ‘90s was the result of incredible urgency: In 1998 Timbaland and Steve “Static Major” Garrett got the call to craft a track for R&B thrush Aaliyah, who’d been asked to sing a track for Eddie Murphy’s big-screen Dr. Doolittle adaptation.
- Mary J. Blige, “Be Happy” (1994) Much of Mary J Blige’s best work blends the bitter and sweet notes of love and life, but none with as much pain and much-needed catharsis as “Be Happy.”
- D’Angelo, “Brown Sugar” (1995) Neo-soul has many mothers and fathers, including Meshell Ndegeocello, Brand New Heavies, and Joi Gilliam. But the first time the audience knew that a new form of soul music had emerged was when D’Angelo’s debut single crept into BET’s video shows in the spring of 1995.
- En Vogue, “Hold On” (1990) En Vogue is the modern girl group, the ones who inspired Total, Destiny’s Child, Brownstone, and the last great wave of sisters with voices in the ‘90s.
