Yea lol.

i don't get tv1, so i missed this. this thread, however, is making me wish i had it!

i remember at the time someone told me NOT to get their cd b/c "tennessee" wasn't the same song as you hear on the radio, so i didn't wind up getting it. about 7 years later, i was temping at a music company and got a free compilation of their greatest hits, which had the radio version of the song so i was happy. when i learned all the words to "tennessee", i noticed that they named checked dyersburg, tn, and the surrounding area which is where speech(?) "walked the ground my forefathers walked, climbed the trees my forefathers swung from", and that's where my grandparents and ancestors are from as well. that made me like the song more!

i thought they had a positive vibe going on. i could relate to the lyrics of 'people everyday'. but it sounds like speech could take his own advice from that song, and behave like an "african" instead of "n****". i mean c'mon - 90/10???? who the hell does that????

Yeah he came off very hypocritical.

I don't have TV One either, but the Unsung episodes are on its website http://tvone.tv/shows/unsung Each new episode is posted to the web within 24 hours of the tv airing.

I was never crazy about Tennessee. I did like Mr. Wendal for a bit.

Everyday People did nothing for me but this one here was my favorite

from the group for obvious reasons

Have never heard or seen this video before.

At this point i guess the label was trying to squeeze one more single from the

album(4th single) and the album had pretty much run it's course. Good song though.
