Where is jermey jordan "right kind of love" It's fucking one of the best pop songs of the 90's.I actually prefer "Wannagirl", but maybe that's cuz of the sample. I worked with Jeremy Jordan once. He was smokin' hot, but not very nice. Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917 | |

"i want a girl like u, to be with me tonight, I wanna kiss ur lips and hold u close if thats alright" | |

Yeah, but it was in a television capacity, not a musical one. He was promoting his 1st album. Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917 | |

Yeah, but it was in a television capacity, not a musical one. He was promoting his 1st album. He never did a follow up album. I think it went gold though. I remember "right kind of love" being shown after a beverly hills 90210 episode. Crafty. Loved it then, hated song and album for years, re-discovered it and love it again now. Thats cool. | |
