Our List of the Best R&B Ballads For Slow Dancing

In high school, it was important to be within speaking distance to the boy or girl you wanted to slow dance with. So, we’ve gone back in time to nominate the best R&B ballads that were perfect slow dance tunes. How do you think we did?

1.) “I Will Always Love You” by the late Whitney Houston
2.) “End Of The Road” by Boyz II Men
3.) “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men
4.) “Waterfalls” by TLC
5.) “Love Ballad” by LTD
6.) “Save The Best For Last” by Vanessa Williams
7.) “Always and Forever” by Heatwave
8.) “Tender Love” by Force MDs
9.) “Breath Again” by Toni Braxton

Conclusions: The singer and bands in this list represent the best music ever recorded, and frankly it’s amazing we didn’t just stop right there. Mariah and Vanessa are now accomplished actresses, Toni has done a reality show with her family, and it’s hard to believe that Left Eye, Whitney, and her daughter Bobbie are gone.
