Rolling Stone's 314th greatest album of all time

Brilliant R&B album by the star of the Fugees. Doo Wop is a stone cold belter of a song.

Nice soulful 90s R&B album. The right mix of upbeat songs and ballads, featuring the massive "I'll make love to you".

Rolling Stone's 143rd greatest album of all time
