Welcome to another edition of GrantLOVE Presents. The SlowDown came about on a whim. I was checking a few old computer folders and stumbled on these songs, some of which I haven’t heard in decades, and decided to put together a Podcast. Starting off with a tribute to the one and only Stevie Wonder, Rocket Love by Black Coffey from the album Conception. I followed that with the Grand Puba produced Love, Need & Want by Chante Savage. You’ll find some older faves like Rene & Angela’s My First Love, and the incomparable Johnny Guitar Watson putting his mack down on Lovin You. The Force MD’s, Entouch, Taana Gardner, and The Ohio Players’ Pride & Vanity makes this SlowDown Mix an instant classic. Where else will you find all these songs on one mix? HERE, that’s where. I hope you enjoy the flashback.

“Another year passes by, but the Love always remains.”
I hope all of you can share in the joy of Valentine’s Day! If not, there’s always next year.
To my wife of 5 wonderful years:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
- The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4 -
Remember to make Our Lord & Saviour your number 1 Valentine this year.
