Flashback Friday – 12/4 – Christmas Edition Pt.1

Happy Friday All!! I’m not sure about you all, but its hard for me to believe its December already. And for me, the very first day of December marks the beginning of the Christmas season instantly, therefore its only right that for the next four Fridays, I post some throwback Christmas songs to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Cool? Cool. Today’s blog has songs from the Jackson 5, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Run DMC and Whitney Houston. Everyone knows that every artists loves to remake classic Christmas tunes, so excuse me if you hear a few renditions on the same song from different artists over the next few weeks. Keep in mind that I usually have a 10 year old minimum with my song selections, but I might break my rule once or twice though. But this is my blog and I’ll do what I want to! Lol. For those out there who DO pay attention to this here blog, this is the perfect opportunity to suggest any of your favorite holiday songs for me to post up on the blog so get at me! Please enjoy these songs, vote, comment, suggest and add me to your shopping list. 😀 Have a blessed weekend!

Flashback Friday – 10/16

Happy Friday All! I don’t know which parts of the world all 14 of my readers are viewing this blog from, (I picked up two more….yeah! *smile*) but over here in MD its getting cold outside, so I hope those of you who can feel me, are sitting somewhere  working, studying or chilling with the heat on this Friday afternoon. Today’s Flashback Friday features random songs from Ahmad, Jagged Edge, Public Enemy, Run DMC and Whitney Houston. What’s funny is that as many times as I’ve heard and referred to the song “Back In The Day” by Ahmad, I never the name of the artist who made the song–all I knew was the song, lol. Amongst Public Enemy, Run DMC and Whitney Houston, I could pick any song for them and I really couldn’t go wrong. They are all pioneers of the industry and have been honored as such since the early 80’s when they all debuted. Last week I posted a song from ‘pre-pedo’ R. Kelly and today I will be posting a song from Whitney’s ‘pre-crack’ era before she met Bobby Brown and was on top of the R&B game. With that said, I’m outta here so that you can listen, vote, comment and suggest! Have a blessed weekend! 🙂
