old school

I was listening to some old school R&B and wrote this just now
Title: Old School

Listening to old school
slow jams
Slowly transports me back
when melodies were sang to subliminally woo the panties off the ladies
when love pumped through the speakers, making you sway back and forth and wanna grab the one you loved
Even if it wasn't the one you loved, it was the one you loved for that moment
When the familiar song plays and grabs attention like an elephant in the room. It starts to play
everyone throws up their hands yelling,"Heyyyyy!"
Music has a way of bringing everyone together like that
Freddie, Luther, Aretha, Anita
Responsible for baby booms, which were never recorded in history books
Old school R&B responsible for the joys of undersexed, over worked wives cleaning their homes forgetting for a moment that they are unwanted.
Old school, classics, works of artistic love wind, flowing through the air of the love starved and optimism ears of people
R&B never really gets old
