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

Throwback Friday- Irene Cara “Out Here On My Own”
As a new generation tries to remake a classic, against my better judgment, I am taken back to the original movie "Fame" from 1980 as well as the tv series that was equally awesome.

Throwback Friday- DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince “Parents Just Don’t Understand
Remember that eensie weensie stretch when rap was simply fun? No virtually naked girls and glorified thug life. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince and Biz Markie are the first two groups/artists that come to mind. Album after album, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince really hit home with us young folks with classic anthems that are still relevant today. One of my all time … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday- DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince “Parents Just Don’t Understand
