P.O.V.: What Happened to All Of the Slow Jam R&B Songs?

P.O.V. stands for point of view. P.O.V. stands for penis (Rich Juzwiak of Gawker has one, to pick a not at all random example) or vagina (and I’ve got one). P.O.V. stands for pork or veal, but this column is not about food or getting mad about animals confined to living short lives in boxes. It’s about music.

For each entry of this recurring column, Rich and I will pick a current pop-music topic and debate it in the comments below. First up was Robin Thicke’s separation swan song Paula and today, we’re asking: What happened to the slow jam?
