Slow Jams

"Slow Jams" is a song by American musician Quincy Jones, taken from his studio album Q's Jook Joint (1995). Written and produced by Rod Temperton, vocals for the song were initially recorded by Babyface, Portrait, Barry White and girl band SWV. A remix version, released in 1996 as the album's second single, replaced the latter's vocals with Canadian singer Tamia. A commercial success, it peaked at number 2 on the New Zealand Singles Chart and reached the top 20 on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart. The remix version featuring Tamia earned a nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 39th Grammy Awards in 1997.
