Nothing sounds better than a smooth R&B Ballad; the 60s delivered great Motown tunes, the 70s gave us all the love ballads TSOP released, but what about the 90s? Here’s our list of the best R&B Ballads from the decade of the 90s, and the stars who gave the song life…
“I Will Always Love You” – Whitney Houston
“End of the Road” – Boyz II Me
“One Sweet Day” – Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
“Waterfalls” – TLC
“I Swear” – All-4-One
“Save the Best for Last” – Vanessa Williams
“I’ll Make Love to You” – Boyz II Men
“Un-Break My Heart” – Toni Braxton
“Another Sad Love Song” – Toni Braxton
“If I Ever Fall In Love” – Shai
“Right Here (Human Nature)” – SWV
“Breathe Again” – Toni Braxton
Conclusions: It’s obvious Toni, Whitney, and the girls from TLC ruled the 90s with heartbreak songs. The men are easily represented by Boyz, and All-4-One. Here’s what they all have in common; well produced songs with rich harmonies and sound song structure. TLC is back and touring, as are Boyz and All-Four-One.
