Perhaps the most soulful song on this playlist, "Cause I Love You" embodied the power of love and the portrayal of love in the funk and soul scene. This was the type of song that would come on and one would immediately have to find a partner to dance with on the floor. The song is sung with such passion, and this allowed the listener to feel very joyful and fortunate if he/she was in a happy relationship. The melody is quite clever as well, so far as to be sampled by the likes of Kanye West.
