When I was growing up "to rap" had different meanings depending on where and when you were living.
This post concerns mid-Atlantic or east coast styling as defined by DJ's from some of my favorite radio stations from 1970 to 1972.
Rapping back then refereed to romantic singing or "pillow-talk". My friends called it, "baby I want you" music. A good example is the group "The Main Ingredient".
Listen to lead singer Cuba Gooding, Sr. on this song from 1972.
This is old school rap or "baby I want you" like I used to hear when I was a kid.

The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.
