Alyson's My Love Is So Raw features rapper Nikki D, seguing into Rebbie's Plaything, one of her finest releases. The anthems Clouds and I Hear Music In The Streets are two well-known tracks, which are then followed by a lesser-known track, Imagination. Alyson's track made me seek out Curtis Hairston, who dropped I Want Your Lovin'. Jermaine was on my mind, prompting me to include I Think It's Love after Curtis' track.
Lisa Stansfield's Change is one of my favorite cuts from her, and the lesser known track, Who's Loving You? was my anthem from Tony Toni Tone! back in the day. I had to follow that up with the smash Everytime You Go Away, a Hall and Oates track which was remade by Paul Young.
I needed to mellow things out a little bit after that scorcher with Everything But The Girl's Driving, Brenda's Piano In The Dark, Isley Brother's hit Hello, It's Me, and finish it off with the wonderul cut A Penny For Your Thoughts.
Enjoy.

Lisa Stansfield - Change, Tony Toni Tone - Who's Lovin' You *** Classics brah!

Well, EJ's site would sure get my vote as the best podcast/rb site. ~Thanks for the rb.
I love the opening lines to A Penny For Your Thoughts. That little says so much.

Oh my goodness, I hadn't heard Alyson Williams since freshman year! Is that Big Daddy Kane I hear?
The OSW has Everything But The Girl! My favorite song by that group is "Missing."
