tried to sell my fiancee on playing that con-funk-shun track at our wedding, i think she wants to avoid playing "bedroom" music in front of the 'rents, which i understand.

Yea it is good, but is it really quiet storm? Is every 70s Philly inspired ballad quiet storm? I associate quiet storm more with Luther Vandross.

Maybe Float On isn't quite Quiet Storm; but it's definitely meant for late night/candle lit moments, which is what I understand Quiet Storm to be about. I've dreamt of djing a night of this kind of music, but it's never happened.

luther def released some very non-quiet storm

i guess i associate it more w/ 80s production values, tho
I heard lots of quiet storm radio programs and they have all played a mix of late 70's early 80's.

I grew up in the DC area and heard Melvin Lindsey and quickly grew tired of WHUR's quiet storm programming yet I still love listening to 70s philly soul. The songs that are played on WHUR somehow seem more mellow and less uh soulful. Maybe this is not making sense and I need to re-listen to the station or to reexamine my own defintion of quiet storm. As an aside, I have a number of times in recent years attended 70s soul revival shows with Philly acts and the Stylistics and the Dramatics and groups like that, which I have enjoyed. I thought these groups had crossover pop appeal, but interestingly at these live shows in the DC area attended by several thousand people, me and my significant other are among a very very small handful of white people there.
