Okay. I haven't listened to the cassette in so long. I forgot.

Those were the days when real men over 30 had record deals. With voices. And their pants pulled up. With substance. With mature lyrics. With 1 gold chain inside their shirt. With dress pants.

Yeah those were the days. Days I wished I was around to see when it was happening. I do remembering digging Miles' songs, Teddy's "Joy" and Gerald Alston (sp?)'s "Slow Motion" at 4, 5 years old.

Yeah I was exposed to classic R&B at three. So we can definitely relate.

I remember this guy.He always reminded me of Teddy Pendergrass.In the late 80s,his videos were all over BET.Remember his song "Heaven?"


In 1983/84,he was actually the lead singer of.....The Village People! He was the cop,filling in for the guy who left.Hey,you gotta start somewhere,right? lol
