“Return of the Mack” is that jam! I barely know any of the words outside of the chorus but it makes you want to dance. Mark Morrison had greater success in the UK before and after the 1996 hit. It peaked at #2 over on the American Billboard charts as Morrison’s began serving time in […]

The Queen of Soul has received so much disrespect this week for her cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”. Unacceptable! Without the original Queen, there’d be no Beyonces, Mary J.s or Adeles of the world. Aretha Franklin’s voice just gives me chills, it is quite like no other! My all-time favorite by the Motown

This week’s “That’s My Jam Thursday” is way before my time! 1977 to be exact. I think this was my mom’s sophomore year of college and she hadn’t met my dad yet, so you know no one had dreamed of me just yet. “Love Ballad” by L.T.D. is such a classic. Growing up, I was

I remember my first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday. I dramatically fell to my knees when my mother left the classroom because I was well aware that she’d thrown me to the sharks. Unfortunately, I did not have preschool refinement which meant that I had little to no daily interactions with children my

In honor of Shemar Moore’s return to daytime on the Young & the Restlesss, I chose Toni Braxton’s “How Many Ways” for this week’s That’s My Jam Thursday! He hasn’t aged a bit years after playing Toni’s love interest! I would drop everything and run away with this man.

Who doesn’t love some old school Toni Braxton? She lit up the charts back in the day and is just as fabulous today! “You Mean the World to me” is one of my all-time fave Toni tracks (“How Could an Angel Break My Heart” and “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” are high on the list

Who remembers 702? They were the bomb.com! While the ladies only had a few modest hits, the songs are still memorable. My all-time fave is “This ‘Lil Game We Play” featuring Subway! I was seven years old singing about foreplay but its all good! I definitely remember being home to watch them on Soul Train!

I absolutely love Hi-Five! They had some of the catchiest hits in the 90’s. I was only familiar with “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)” and “She’s Playing Hard to Get”. Those were definitely my jams. I was just a kid when they reached their height on the charts, so I just remember the
