In the ’90s, it was as if there was an unspoken competition on who could make the sexiest slow jam. From Tony Toni Tone to Boys II Men down to Jodeci, it was the era of “Knockin Da Boots,” “Bump ‘N Grind” and Color Me Badd overtly claiming, “I wanna sex you up.”

It was also Boys II Men confessing: “I’ll make love to you, like you want me to.” If the boy band wasn’t working out, members were known to break out as solo acts. R.Kelly from Public Announcement, Johnny Gill from New Edition…these brothers were determined, band or no band! Take a look at some of the hottest and sexiest slow jams that defined the final decade of the 20th century.
