I just heard "Let's Chill" by Guy come up on my hubby's playlist and it took me back. It also reminded me that I don't typically post true R&B songs as Throwback Fridays. It's that song we used to hope some guy or gal would catch your eye and ask you to slow dance hard as we did back those days, lol. Today, at the moment it came up on the iPod, what came to mind is how … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday- “Let’s Chill” by Guy
Throwback Fridays (music)
Throwback Friday- “Fake Friends” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
With the much talked about Tiger Woods press conference on my mind today, I wanted to find a throwback song to capture some of my personal annoyance with the incessant media coverage and judgment of Tiger Woods.

Funny. This song is as relevant today as it was in 1988. People still get on rappers about sampling music, and "Talkin all that Jazz" was Stetsasonic's defense of the hip hop explaining that they were using existing beats to create a new art form. One of my sisters brought up this early 80s, Brooklyn native, self proclaimed hip hop band earlier this week, and I knew that … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday- “Talkin all that Jazz” by Stetsasonic
Throwback Friday- “Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)” by Samantha Fox
OMG! I used to love this song back in the day. Takes me back to playing on my club soccer team. It was one of those songs when we were carpooling to a soccer game and it came on, we begged the parent to turn it up and would sing along. I don't think my parents were so in love with me singing along at that time to a song called "Naughty Girls" but that's when you sang and … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday- “Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)” by Samantha Fox
