Annointing of the Queen
5
By The Skinny Critic
This might be the finest R&B album of all time and it is certainly the definitive fusion of Hip Hop & R&B. One can simply press play on this classic and let Queen Mary take on on a trip through elation ("You Remind Me", "Love No Limit"), heartache "(My Love", "Real Love") and everything in between. It's hard to put into words how important this album is not in the cannon of soul music but in the lives of those who have been on this journey (and she with us) for nearly 30 years. Purple Rain, the Low End Theory, Diamond Life . . . yep, 411 is right there.
