“Someday” Mariah Carey (live)
So random, but I used to LOVE this song. Back when Mariah had THAT range. Good times.
“Get Up On It” Kut Klose feat. Keith Sweat (live)
I’ve always liked this song. Not as much as their joint withOUT Keif, “I Like,” but this will do. Great flash from the golden-era-of-girl-group past.
“Ribbon In The Sky” Stevie Wonder feat. Savion Glover
Yes, you read that right. A friend went to see a Savion Glover performance over the weekend, and her review moved me to look for some of the artist’s best stuff to post. And look what I came across… #love
“Can You Stand The Rain” New Edition (live on The Arsenio Hall Show)
The only thing stopping this from being a classic performance is Ricky’s part, where he squealed like a hurt piglet. Ugh. Love this group. The prototype for boy bands. Long live N.E.
“She’s Playing Hard to Get” Hi-Five (live)
We need to re-visit their discography. A good amount of hits. Love this song.
“What You Won’t Do For Love” Phyllis Hyman (live)
Just a classic performance by one of the greats… #love
“Turned Away” Chuckii Booker
I’ve always sworn that this song and Troop’s “Spread My Wings” have the exact same beat. Love it nonetheless. 80’s R&B. #getusome
“Why Can’t You Come Home” Ex-Girlfriend
“In My Mind” Heather Headley (live)
I’ve always loved this song. And her voice. This live version really shows off her range. Effortless. #yes
“Super Woman” Karyn White (live)
This is from a performance in Japan back in 1990. Which makes this song over 20 years old. Wow. Yes, she sings it well, but check the ad libs after the five minute mark. Consider the song forever broken down.
i read. i write. i am.
