I Want It Every Night
Happy Thursday, y'all, and hope you enjoy today's musical outing. One of the fabulous groups of yesteryear had a top twenty hit with this little ditty, whose vibe (and video) I'm still feeling thirteen years later.
Trivia: One of the great originals of its day, the female soul group En Vogue originally began with four members, and scored hits with their jazzy throwback tune "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" and "Whatta Man" with Salt N Pepa, the latter of which reached the Billboard Hot 100 top ten. During the recording of EV3, which featured arguably the group's biggest hit, "Don't Let Go (Love)," group member Dawn Robinson decided to leave the quartet, although her vocals still decorate a majority of the album. Robinson later rejoined the group in 2008 as they began to slowly tour the U.S. and supposedly record an upcoming new release.
Get my favorite En Vogue album, Funky Divas.(For a penny? Come on!)

Won't You Call Me Sometime, Papa?
Well, now that I've gotten the new blog up and running, there I go and take an unannounced five-day break to begin the year! Well, I'm back, and for real, so never fear...there's lots more to come. To start with, how about some old-school Alicia Keys in a song that relates to how you might have been feeling the past few days?
Trivia: This song originally began as "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" written and performed by Prince and appearing as the B-side to the far more famous "1999." Keys' version was released as the third U.S. single from her much lauded debut album Songs in A Minor, although it topped out at #59 on the Billboard Hot 100 just before Keys appeared on Eve's single "Gangsta Lovin'," which later joined the #2 Club of songs that peaked at the penultimate slot on the singles chart.
Get Alicia Keys' fantastic debut album, still (in my humble opinion) the best of her career.
