Schoolly D is my second favorite rapper of all time after Guru. This is from his 1988 LP 'Smoke Some Kill'
Of course it samples this classic from Dyke & the Blazers

A Northern Soul classic.
Has anybody noticed the recent resurgence of Northern Soul dance clubs in England on TikTok?
Same style of solo dancing as back in the 60's and 70's...
Takes me back to my teenage years when we were slow dancing with our honeys to The Platters, Johnny Mathis, and Tommy Edwards...
Alex was the truth. Track #1 on his self titled debut album, released in 1985. In the video producers Jimmy Jam on the keyboards and Terry Lewis on the upright bass. Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.
Maze feat. Frankie Beverly "Joy and Pain". This was released in 1980. My favorite song from them.
I was put onto that song thanks to Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's hip hop interpolation in 1988

This was the first Teena Marie song I can remember hearing. Little did I know at the time just how good her discography was and would be.
"Lovergirl"
As it turned out my very favorite song from her was near the end of her life. This was a duet with Faith Evans I believe released in 2009.
"Can't Last a Day"

I was thinking about the 1990 Whit Stillman movie "Metropolitan" today, and remembered it was the first time I heard this song...
