Songoftheday 4/15/19 - We fell in love and who could blame us, the word was we were just beside ourselves and everybody said it wouldn't last...
from the album For The Cool In You (1993)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #21 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 10
Today's song of the day comes from singer/songwriter/producer Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, whose third album For The Cool In You had landed him a top-20 pop hit in the beginning of 1994 with its second single "Never Keeping Secrets" (surprisingly, lead track and top-10 R&B hit "For The Cool In You" stalled all the way down at #81 on the pop Hot 100). The third offering from the set was yet another ballad, this time the break-up song "And Our Feelings". Written by Babyface with co-producer Daryl Simmons, the ballad seems to take on the position that other peoples' meddling is what causes relationships to fall apart...
"And Our Feelings" became the second top-40 pop hit from For The Cool In You in April of 1994. The song also climbed to #8 on the R&B chart in Billboard magazine, and even snuck onto the Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") format list at #38. (The song never became a hit overseas.)
Up tomorrow: Gangsta rapper knows the score.
