I'm sitting here trying to remember what year The Nutty Professor came out. It was either 1995 or 1996. Case's Touch Me Tease Me was one of the first singles released for The Nutty Professor soundtrack. The song features Mary J. Blige(who co-wrote the song and dated Case) and Foxy Brown(who was label mates with Case).  Case's self titled debut album would be released in 1996 as was Foxy Brown's. Mary J. was still riding the success of the My Life album and contributions to other soundtracks.

| Case released his self-titled debut on Def Jam in 1996. The album featured the hit single, "Touch Me Tease Me" featuring Foxy Brown & Mary J. Blige. The song also features "More To Love" which was co-written by former girlfriend Mary J. Blige. The album features a strong Hip-Hop soul vibe which makes a lot of sense since he is signed to Def Jam. This album recalls early Mary J. Blige or Faith Evans. I remember when I owned the cassette of this and my father and sister were visiting in town. I end up leaving the cassette in his car and they went back to Wisconsin. I don't recall ever getting it back and by that time I probably didn't care. The album is very good though and its worth checking out. Some of my favorite songs are "Don't Be Afraid", "I Gotcha", "More To Love", and "Touch Me Tease Me". ---------------- Now playing: Rick James & Smokey Robinson - Ebony Eyes via FoxyTunes

Most people probably remember this video because Beyonce played Cases' love interest. And this was clearly before Beyonce was the superstar she is know. We probably wouldn't see her doing this now unless the person is of a Jay-Z or Kanye West caliber which is understandable. ---------------- Now playing: Case - Happily Ever After via FoxyTunes

It was back in 1996 when "Touch Me, Tease Me" was released. It was the first single from "The Nutty Professor" soundtrack. This is from a performance from BET's "Teen Summit". ---------------- Now playing: Foxy Brown - Brooklyn's Don Diva via FoxyTunes

I remember this song like it was yesterday. I do remember thinking that Foxy Brown was Case. I was so intrigued by Foxy when she first came out; it was ridiculous. "Touch Me Tease Me" was the lead cut from "The Nutty Professor" soundtrack(which I heard Eddie Murphy hated). The song was a huge hit and Case and Mary J. Blige began a little relationship sometime after the song. Check out the video!

These music feeds just pop up in my head. All of a sudden 'touch' popped in my head and a list of songs followed. Of course I could sit here and name countless songs with 'touch' in the title. That is almost what happened. Basically the first few song that popped in my head ended up on this list. Check it out! Touch, Omarion Some of my favorite songs by Omarion are the ones produced by The Neptunes and 'Touch' is no exception. The video features Omarion doing plenty of twirling and gyrating to maximum effect. Touch My Body, Ashanti This is an unreleased track from Ashanti recorded around the 'Concrete Rose' album era(2004). The track also featured a verse from Lil' Kim on some versions. I'm not sure if that was official or not. Touch My Body, Mariah Carey Perhaps one of the most well known songs here with 'Touch' in the title. This song became Mariah's 18th number one hit! Touch My Body, Missy Elliott This song just leaked out online ...

50 Cent takes on the 1996 classic, "Touch Me Tease Me" by Case, Mary J. Blige and Foxy Brown. I have no idea what this mess is but it is definitely atrocious at best.
