Who remembers this song, with it's Mike, Prince and Stevie references









I was watching a old Soul Train episodfe with Vanity 6 and they played this song... I use to love this song

I saw that 'Soul Train' episode too and I remember this song.This was a major jam back in the fall of 1982.There's an orger who posts here....his sister is the "groupie" during the mid-song spoken segment!

where's your pen? You ain't even got a pen!

HELL Yes.

I got the 12" now. See what the org has done to me?!

lol, this is like a funk version of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen".

I can't recall the orger's name but his sister is on this song,playing the "groupie".

I do, I do!

Additionally, I love the slow jam The Party's Over from the same album.

I just heard that on ol' skool Soul Train the other nite! I love the "she'll do anything if Prince would take her home" part.

Sounds a little like o'bryan's lovelite.

Thank you guys for almost triggering my memory. There was another song out about this time. R&B artist.
A minor one hit wonder. Of course I' drawing a blank right now thinking of this song but I'm not sure it was Bobby Nunn but there was a song I always associated with this one. They always seem to be played near each other on the radio . . . .
Now I' frustrated that I can't remember.

BTW, anyone remember a song called Songwriter circa 1982-83? It wasn't a single as far as I can recall. I want to say it was the Whispers but that doesn't sound right. . .

I'm gonna have to find this album! I never heard anything else from it.Are there any other good uptempo jams on it?

Here I am. You know I love some Bobby Nunn and "She's Just A Groupie" is just one of many great jams from him such as:

Private Party
Sexy Sassy
Got To Get Up On It
Hanging Out At The Mall

I don't have either of his two albums. However, I have several 45s from the two and every one of them are uptempo and very Prince sounding. See my above post.

In the words of Morris Day: Yesssss!

Second To Nunn:
Get It While You Can
Got To Get Up On It
You Need Non-Stop Lovin'

Private Party:
Sex Maniac
Lady Killer
Hangin' Out At The Mall
Too Young
Sexy Sassy

Don't forget: Do You Look That Good In The Morning"

Remember the group, "The Jets"? They had that song "Rocket 2 U"? That was Bobby Nunn. He wrote and sang the song!

That's it!!! Thanx!

you guys are so helpful here.
I am thinking of a black male singer, a contemporary of O'Bryan and Nunn.
THe song I'm thinking of was a slow song. I keep remembering an H but not sure if was the first or last name.
Right now I can't think of the song but I looked for it for years . . .
We'll see if anything triggers something more specific.

interestingly,Bobby first offered that song to Earth Wind and Fire,who were recording a reunion album in the summer of 1987.They refused the song,so Bobby gave it to the Jets and it became a big hit for them.Personally,I think the lyrics are too "bubblegum" for the grown men in EW&F to be singing,lol.
