L-Boogie,,,thats her nickname. But that's not a name she goes by in the business, like other rappers. She's always introduced as Lauryn Hill, the name on her album is Lauryn Hill, etc. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Hill doesn't. That was my point. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

(well, I haven't heard one anyway) That's What Quincy Jones used to always call them, and they referred to themselves that way for awhile...I guess that might not really count, though...  " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

I asked my sister which NY dj named Chaka that, and she thought it was between Ken "Spider" Webb or "the Chief Rocker" Frankie Crocker. (dj's got nicknames too!  )

What I was trying to say was that i'd never heard a "Lightning Lick" out of George Johnson. (...waiting for the lightning to strike) I'm going to hell.

[ Funny you mention that! I always used to wonder why they would always bring in Lee Ritenour, or Steve Lukather whenever there was some serious guitar soloing on a Bros Johnson album...My friends and I used to wonder, "well, why is he even carrying a guitar at this point?" I know he played with Billy Preston, and he guests on George Duke's "I love the Blues, She Heard my Cry" album... And check it out...I saw him live recently, and he tore it up on guitar, and even did an encore of Funkadelic's Cosmic Slop and ripped it!! ...So what was the deal on their albums?...I Dunno...
