Throwback Friday - Real McCoy "Another Night"


I remember growing up in the 90s you just couldn't turn the radio without listening to a string of the hottest club songs that were out at the time. Most of the club/dance songs were in movies and then some could be heard being played at block parties or cookouts. Of course, I was too young at the time to go clubbing, my ears immediately fell in with the fast uptempo beat and soulful voices artists penned on the song. The 90s club music made you feel free and stress free. 

One of my favorite songs would have to be the Real McCoy with "Another Night". I don't recall where was the first time I heard the song, but I know this beat that I would be unforgettable. I had no idea the group filmed a video for the song. I couldn't be more excited than ever. Take a look at the video and observe how music videos differ from today.

Throwback Thursday: Living Single


Since the big thing to do on Thursdays is putting old pictures up on social networking sites and calling it Throwback Thursday, I decided to join in. Back in the early to late 90s before Sex and the City, there was a show of four African-American woman living singly in a brownstone apartment out in Brooklyn, New York entitled Living Single

The four woman Khadijah James (Queen Latifah), Synclaire James-Jones (Kim Coles), Maxine "Max" Felice Shaw (Erika Alexander) and Regina "Regine" Hunter (Kim Fields) all together made being single and living in New York the LIFE

Although there were relationships that sprouted along the way, this great unforgettable show will always be a favorite of mine. It was mostly the comedy that was shared between each character. 

How many of you remember Living Single

My favorite is Synclaire!!!

You can catch episodes of the show on tvONE which seems to air frequently throughout the station.

Throwback Friday: Zhane "Hey Mr. D.J."


One of my favorite RnB groups of the 90s were the two female duo Zhane (pronounced Jah-Nay). These two sisters had the 90s in the palm of their hand. I remember my mother purchasing their self titled album "Zhane" and she would play it all the time. Ever song on the album was just an instant hit. I miss the RnB 90 years. Music was so real back then and so live. Zhane however made you feel like you could jam anywhere listening to their album. My favorite song of theirs happens to be one of their smash hit singles "Hey Mr. D.J". I think it was the first song I've ever heard from them lol. I don't know what's up with the duo group now, but they need to make a comeback to the music scene asap! Luckily, there is a music video for the song. So today's Throwback Friday video is from Zhane with "Hey Mr. D.J."  If you don't have the album I suggest you download it on iTunes or purchase it on Amazon.
