    you dont really need this do you ?
    I.m me...

  • i did hook it up, i posted it in my reply 2 above.

    sorry about my tone, you are right. i was also stoned at 6am posting, still no excuse.

    also, i should point out, yeah i was just a young punk back then, what did i know about proper music back then, i was buying any record that used a sampler

    I was gonna consider Phyllis Hyman's late output as an example.

    This album was KILLIN' IT on the drive to MI from Indy this morning:

    Carl Anderson's "Buttercup" = last of the modern soul. I define this as using the same instrumentation and production techniques as the 70's. I am thinking The Futures, Chapter 8, Anita Baker "Songstress" on Beverly Glen, Maze...

    Post-Modern (Trench-Coat Soul???) = The same kind of songs but done with the 80's instrumentation (DX7 / Linn drum on everything), programming, and production. Hollow at Patrice Rushen on "Watchout"! On-point call.

    Am I close? So can I get Post-Modern, pastel-coloured-and-everyone-rocking-a-Duran-Duran-bling-look- cover love for:

    Beau Williams
    Freddie Jackson (on Capitol - "Rock Me Tonight")
    Howard Johnson ("Knees" is class)
    Glenn Jones ("Finesse" set)
    Genobia Jeter
    Vesta Williams
    Me'Lisa Morgan
    Mtume ("Juicy Fruit") - In fact anything w. Tawatha Agee = Trenchness
    Pieces of a Dream
    Cameo on "Single Life"
    Roy Ayers "In The Dark" - Oh Yeah... DMX (not the dude) and Linn in full effect
    Thelma Houston ("You Used To Hold Me So Tight")

    Teddy Riley closed the book on this era. Mary J and R Kelly put the book away to gather dust on the upper echelons of time's bookshelf until :truebelievers: decided to dust that bad boy off.

    Cameo is iffy for me because of the "rapping" and their FUNK foundation.

    Youre right there,but there are cats doing it through the New Jack Swing Era.

    True dat. But then, I am cold on their funk catalogue. I think the band ultimately evolved into their endgame on this incarnation of The Cameosis:


    Damn, is it me or is trenchness on a female surprisingly Blappable in the 21st?

    But the million-dollar question is:

    DID YOU ROCK THE LOOK?

    I remember rocking a look that consisted of a juxtapositive brouhaha of these very elements:


    I was 17... with 2 days of beard I could get served anywhere. Hollow at my pipes.













    Of course these days, I rock the Miami Vice look.

    I own a White Polyurethane Raincoat that is a must.

    Brenda Russell - Get Here 1988

    Her version of Get Here is nice. Oleta Adams' rendition became a big hit.

    Cameo on "Single Life"


    Im on the fence w/ Cameo. Theyre pretty much a Funk Band that's been able to manuver the waters of the mid to late 80s, which is the Post-Modern (Trench-Coat Soul???)Era.

    too electro?

    'hearsay' is an alltime favorite. 'can you stand the rain' is a total bite of sunshine
