Songoftheday 5/17/19 - We used to talk and laugh all night girl, what happened to those days did they all just fade away...
from the album The Truth (1993)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #14 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 15
Today's song of the day comes from R&B singer Aaron Hall, who had been a member of the new jack swing group Guy since the late 1980s. He released his first solo single in 1992; it was a song for the soundtrack to the movie Juice. "Don't Be Afraid" went to #1 on Billboard's R&B chart, but stopped short of the top-40 at #44. In 1993, he released his for full-length album The Truth. The uptempo lead single "Get A Little Freaky With Me" stalled under the R&B top-40 at #48, and didn't reach the pop chart at all (although it did hit the British singles chart at #66). He did better with his second release, the slow jam "Let's Make Love", which made the top-40 level at #36 while "bubbling under" the pop Hot 100 at #113. The third single would be the ballad "I Miss You", written by Aaron Hall and Gregory Cauthen. The smooth song would end up being his biggest pop success...
"I Miss You" became Aaron's first and biggest pop top-40 hit in August of 1994. The song also spent three weeks at #2 on Billboard's R&B chart. A fourth single from The Truth, "When You Need Me", climbed to #30 on the R&B chart and "bubbled under" Billboard's pop Hot 100 at #104.
