Throwback Friday - Tatyana Ali "Daydreamin'"

Who remembers when "Ashely Banks" (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)  b.k.a Tatyana Ali started her singing career with her first hit single "Daydreamin'" in 1999? That song had to be my favorite during the 90's R&B era. I remember even before I knew she could sing, I watched an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and sat in awe saying how much of an amazing and talented actress she was. Once, I saw her perform on one of the episodes, I thought wow  she is truly an entertainer. Tatyana Ali does it all from dancing, acting to singing; she is a triple threat! Tatyana Ali, continues to act and she even has her own sitcom on TVOne entitled Love That Girl. If you didn't know, Tatyana Ali is a graduate of Harvard University with a degree in Political Science and Afro-American studies. I really wish she'd come back out with another album, her voice is so pure and beautiful to listen to. Today's Throwback Friday goes out to Tatyana Ali with "Daydreamin'". Enjoy!
