So it's 1:40AM and I'm sitting at my parents crib watching a rerun on All My Children and uploading music to my iPod. As I go through my Cd's that I snatched out of my storage facility I'm just amazed of how good music used to be.
Remember the Summer of 2000 when Raphael, Dawn and Ali put together Lucy Pearl? Man, I was in awe and in love at the same time. They sounded great and Dawn look fly as ever but like everything in life...every good thing must come to an end.
'Dance Tonight',
'Without You' and 'Don't Mess With My Man' always on heavy rotation on my iPod!
Mary J held it down with the release of 'My Life' in my mind her best album to date. Tracks like
'Be With You', 'You Gotta Believe' and
'My Life' set your soul on fire.
D'Angelo not only made the women sway and melt when they saw this braided-headed, wife beater wearing, snarl making cat sing. He also made the fellas tighten up on their gym time as well. From the first moment we saw him and heard the guy folks were like who is this falsetto singin' young cat? Well he mos def let it been known who he was and what he intended on doing. With cuts like
'Lady' and
'Me And Those Dreamin' Eyes Of Mine.' Thank goodness for that!
I sure do miss my R&B and Soul from the 90's. Is it wishful thinking and naivete to think those days will ever resurface? Time will tell. Enjoy!
