[RIP] Teena Marie

My parents were fans so I feel like I inherited their love for her. This is one my favorite ballads of all time. I also included her appearance on The View. She'll live on forever in her music and in our hearts. Condolences to her family and most of all her daughter that she always spoke of so fondly. 



Pharrell Visits Miami Edison High School (2009)

The video was posted a few days ago, but the visit took place in 2009 and I think again earlier this year judging by the end footage of Pharrell sporting his mustache. Read the full story behind his visit here.

What Ever Happened to... Krush - Let's Get Together (1992)

The chorus of this song has spent the last 24 hours stuck in my head. I couldn't remember the name of the group, but I remembered it was from the Mo' Money Soundtrack. So I did a YouTube search and kazaam, someone posted the video in 2008. The only thing I could find about this group is that it consisted of Christy Williams, Ashley Jackson, Angie Smith. I remember them having a Cross Colours ad of all things to remember about them and seeing this video while I was in the dressing room at Merry Go Round shopping for an outfit for the Coca Cola Summerfest with LL Cool J. I only remember in such accurate detail because it was the first I went shopping by myself which was major for my 12 going on 13 year old self. It would be the first and last time I ever saw this video until today.
