I am a big fan of R&B music. The music gives off a nice hip-hop feeling, while allowing me to experience sensual love songs. There are several R&B artists out there who do an outstanding job at creating memorable songs and finding their edge in the business. There are no singers who can match the genius ability of Robert "R. Kelly" Kelly. Neither Usher nor Justin Timberlake can match the stellar ability of R. Kelly.

R. Kelly is the proclaimed "King of R&B" and is much deserving of the title. He has the unique ability to make a sensual love song out of any object or topic. R. Kelly not only has top rated sensual love songs, but he also has some nice and easy fun-loving songs. Many people are quick to judge R. Kelly for his past involvements with the law, but R. Kelly's genius should not be marred. As I always say, "You do not have to respect the person, but you can respect the music." As a tribute to R. Kelly the "King of R&B", here are the top 10 R. Kelly hits.

R. Kelly Hit #10 - Trapped in the Closet

This song, hip-hopera as R. Kelly calls it, was clear evidence of R. Kelly's genius. R. Kelly released this collection of songs on his TP3: Reloaded album which was released in 2005. R. Kelly was able to use a story of a love triangle and make it sexy. He tackles issues of infidelity and shows how anyone can become a victim of infidelity. R. Kelly also makes the point of showing "what goes around comes around." I rated this song at number ten mainly because it was funny to see him trying to act out the various roles during a solo performance.

R. Kelly Hit # 9 - Happy People

In his song "Happy People," R. Kelly shows off his ability to be a great entertainer. The song is fun and full of life. It actually makes me smile and want to dance every time I hear the song. R. Kelly's "Happy People" is a celebration of all people. It is a song that can be used for any occasion. R. Kelly's "Happy People" song can be heard on his 2004 double CD, "Happy People/ U Saved Me" album.

R. Kelly Hit # 8 - I Believe I Can Fly

Great picks. I also love R's music. I won't get into the scandals surrounding him, but the man can sing. :-)

You summed up the man and the music quite nicely. I like "World's Greatest" but think "Hold On" from the movie is especially poignant.

R kelly is such a great song writer- BUT now i cant help but think about the "scandle" he was involved with a couple of years ago when i hear his latest music. My favorite Kelly song is Ignition
