After a long hiatus from my favorite meme I’m jumping back in with a tune fit for the season. My artist for the day hailed from my home town of St. Louis and my current home of Chicago but our geographical paths flowed opposite each other. Mr. Donny Hathaway was born in Chi-Town but grew […]

My high school prom was 1986 and the theme was “If Only For One Night”. I think I even still have the glass stashed away somewhere. These were the years when Luther made all the girls swoon. Take a listen.

Here’s […]

Remember the one that got away? Or how about the one you just could never seem to get it together with or for? Were you really trying to put your best foot forward to try and make it work?
Take a listen to this dusty from yesteryear that used to smooth out your speakers.

This one was easy. M.C. Hammer got me going many-a-day on Tuskegee’s campus. Had to get motivated from that old cinder block dorm in Alphabet City to the engineering building to ingest all of those equations (LOL).
Hammer don’t hurt ‘em!!! Whoops, collegiate flash back.

I wonder if Don Cornelius imagined the audiovisual legacy he would leave to the world after pursuing his dream to put Black popular music on T.V. Today’s OSF meme is a tribute to that catalogue. The category is Favorite Soul Train Performance.
My pick for the day is the BT Express. This group helped epitomize great […]

And what do you want to do after a hard day at work? You want to break out! Swing Out Sister shows you how they were doing it back in 1987. This was a bonafide rock/R & B cross over hit. Take a listen or sing along with the lyrics and you’ll see why.
