Old School Friday: Prom Song or School Dance
Categories: Old School Friday
Written By: Shawn Williams
The theme is prom song or school dance song, but I’m going to deviate a little. I’m going with the Prom or School Dance “After Party” song. These songs were a bit much for a school sponsored function, but were bumping at “The Razz” or “Ebony’s” into the wee hours.
R. Kelly “Slow Dance”
This was back when R. was still rolling with Public Announcement, and when kids still slow danced. The little scene before the song starts was prototypical early 90’s: the hair, dress, that was our day.
Spice 1 - 187 proof
The song did have a violent undercurrent, but it was really creative, a mystery wrapped inside an enigma. It introduced me to brands of liquor that I’d never heard of.

I was a big fan of the R Kelly songs years ago. I remember this one well!
I see you, and I and Marva have something in common! Yes, “Scorpios do Rule”!

R. Kelly was the ish with Public Announcement. Too bad he lost me as a fan when he started… well never mind. That’s a whole other post.
