But that doesn’t mean they didn’t stop churning out hits. Good Luck CharmĮdd: Arguably, JE’s self-titled 2006 album landed after the peak of the group’s mainstream success. Run feature this joint is guaranteed to get everyone away from the open bar and on to the dance floor in seconds. Either way, if the original got folks to to break out the tuxedos and white gowns, the “Let’s Get Married Remix” ensured the reception was entertaining at the very least. Let’s Get Married RemixĪlex: I always say “Let’s Get Married” was the song that motivated many folks in relationships that were going nowhere fast to make it official in front of God and the free world ( Seriously, “we ain’t getting no younger we might as well do this” is not and I repeat NOT a good reason to go to the courthouse and jump the broom). “Where The Party At” was THE R&B party anthem for the summer of 2001, a bubbly cut that proved that JE could be much more than balladeers. Where The Party AtĮdd: I bet the second you read this song’s title that cry of OH-OH-OH-OH-OH just flooded your memories. It became a touching tribute to our troops and the loved ones they leave behind. Released as a single mere months after the 9/11 terror attacks, JE reimagined this breakup song as a ode to soldiers leaving home to go off to war. Honorable Mentions: “Hard,” “Did She Say,” “It’s Been You,” “Head of Household,” “Hope,” “You Look Good With Me,” “Heartbreak”Įdd: JE’s third album Jagged Little Thrill is mostly celebrated for the mega-hit “Where The Party At,” but personally it’s “Goodbye” that kept me coming back for more. I recently sat down with the homie (and huge JE stan) Alex Goodwin to determine the 25 best songs of JE’s catalog. To their credit, JE kept it moving long after their contemporaries split apart, and to this day they’re still delivering. You couldn’t throw a rock in 80s and 90s without hitting a four-member R&B group upside the head, but by the turn of the century, most of the great groups faded into obscurity. I’ve said it before and I’ll happily repeat it again – Jagged Edge may be R&B’s last great group.
