everybody that grew up during the 80's Knows "Juicy Fruit" but there was more to Mtume His work with Stephanie Mills among others&His work with Miles Davis as well.I Found out He was with Michael Jackson that day Rev.Al sharpton was standing by His side.that speaks volumes to me.James Mtume is a Strong Talent&has a Strong Mind on Issues.

In the spring of '83,the song "Juicy Fruit" was HOT!! That was da jam back in the day! I still play that one all the time...

"Cherry blossom kiss,what you're givin'
Makes my body rock,keeps me sizzling
Do what you want,I don't care
I'll be your lollipop,you can lick me everywhere"

They had a few other great songs after "Juicy Fruit"...


***"Green Light"(1983)
***"Would You Like To Fool Around"(1983)
***"You,Me and He"(1984)
***"C.O.D.(I'll Deliver)"(1984)
***"Breathless"(1986)

LOL I can't imagine what it says. Al Sharpton was quick to jump to Inglewood and distance himself from Jackson's comedy of errors.

I was a fan of Mtume. Following the group's demise, lead singer Tawatha Agee did a lot of background vocal work with Luther Vandross -- even toured with him if I'm not mistaken.

My favorite of the Mtume/Lucas productions is 'The Closer I Get To You' by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway.
