Can't Let Her Get Away appreciation thread

And I'm gonna shout out the other underappreciated Dangerous tune:

Sunset Driver, Speed Demon, and She Drives me Wild makes a great trilogy of Driving Songs.
I remember I played Sunset Driver in the car to an MJ fan who had never heard it before - the volume got cranked all the way up. Such a good song.
 
I've never heard of Control being referred to as a New Jack Swing album. Only 2 or 3 songs on it could even be considered as having the New Jack sound. I think the first record officially called NJS was Keith Sweat's debut album in 1987. One of the first songs I recall as having the NJS sound is Alice by Full Force from 1985. Maybe The Show by Doug E. Fresh (also from 1985), but that had more of a straight go-go beat.

I wonder what Mike doing a Latin Freestyle song would have been like.
What songs would you consider NJS? I know Nasty is most definitely NJS and some other tracks like What Have You Done For Me Lately and The Pleasure Principle.
