I bought "Soul Of A Woman" off of the strength of it's lead single, "Friend Of Mine," and because I remember seeing Kelly backing up Mariah, so I figured, "Why not?" By the time I got to the end of the opening interlude, I knew I'd made a good purchase. "Soul Of A Woman" gave me everything I wanted
(except the beginning of the end of Ronald Isley's career with that Mr Biggs BS they drug our way too long and R. Kelly)
at the time, and more. I swear this album doesn't have any skippable track
(except for the requisite gospel track and the aformentioned Isley/R. Kelly abortion
) And Ms. Price can [B L O W]. Get into it, dear chirrens.
Regretfully, I didn't keep up with her career, post debut. I hope all is well with her.
Bonus Track:
***"The Lullaby"
***"You Should Have Told Me"

Dionne Farris used to sing hooks for a rap group called Arrested Development, and she was pretty good at it. She went solo and dropped, "I Know" which was equal parts slay and annoying. But mostly SLAY. Anywho, I had no intention of copping the album until one day when I was flipping past the local Fox affiliate when New York Undercover was on. Now, I've never watched the show, but to my understanding they had weekly music guests in the bar the cops chilled in after solving the big case of the week. Just so happened that the week I was channel flipping, Dionne Farris was the musical guest. Mrs. Farris was slaying a track called "Passion" and I was here for it. So much so that I copped her debut album without haste.
To my suprise the album was a slay from end to end. Please make your acquaintance with the oh so talented, Dionne Farris. (not really R&B, in case you were wondering)

Props to AyaisMUsikWhore for reminding me of a past fave of mine who got lost in the sea of time. Until I made this post, I had forgotten how much I used to wear out Faith Evans' debut album. I remembered it slaying partially, (Soon As I Get Home, is a classic) but damnit if while getting these links, it was just slay after slay after slay after YAAAS. Lol. Faith's debut was/is everything. Do yourself a favor.

For some reason, Sheryl Crow gets dust... like everywhere. And I don't get it. All you Swifties and Twainies should be all over her. Girls got the goods. As you can see from the compiled list, she's got songs for DAYSSSS. I've been in love with Sheryl since her debut, but her 3rd album is my absolute fave. Again, end to end non stop slayage.
azealia is really coming for wigs this time! final fantasy: broke with expensive taste will slay! u guys tried it!! its certainly not like she has completely tanked her career and lost her dignity in the last year!

Janet, the youngest in the family is very very smart. She was more like a tough kid. She was real rough. I mean she was rough. What do they call them yes tomboy. She was a tomboy. She could whop all the girls. Really rough and really really smart. She is really easy nowadays. She has mellowed. She is now married and living a good life with her husband.
I always felt that she was a natural when it came to acting. She did that movie, with the late Tupac Shakur. I thought it was a very good movie, and I was very proud of her performance. As great and known as a singer as she is, I think the world has yet to recognize her extremely great talent as an actress that surpasses her singing. She wants to have a good part in a strong action movie. I cant wait to see her in one.
She did surprise me once, picking me as her date to the premiere of the movie she did with Eddie Murphy. Now Eddie is a great friend and I consider him one of this generations greatest comedians, but right in the middle of watching the movie, as proud as I was of Janet, I never let her know that. She asked me what I thought and I remember telling her You should be bigger than this. You should be the lead actor in the movie and carrying it. I know the comment upset her, because she became quiet and I knew it. But i know her so well, that I knew she was going to channel that anger to prove that she could do better and was right. She came back even stronger with greater movies. And you have not seen the best of her yet. Thats my girl.
When I suffered 4 strokes last year, and was in the hospital recovering, only two people in my family traveled all the way to see in the hospital. My granddaughter Brandi (Jackies daughter and my baby girl Janet. She sat right next to me as I lay in bed, spent time with me, talking about a lot together. It meant a lot to me. I lay there listening to her as she talked about how she was going to get married. I am happy for her and wish her nothing but the best ! I never tell you this, but I am proud of you Janet.
Ummm.... I don't think Fey is actually Canadian BB, he was making fun of us
(never seen Fey posting in such an exaggerated style so I should have clued in right away)
you know what, from some of this back-handed kind of stuff lately I know most of POPGAF has a low opinion of me. That's fine, I've enjoyed most of my time here and discovered some great new music (and hopefully provided some as well, I tried at least!), but don't worry I won't be bothering you guys anymore
(hope I see you in other threads Grizzo, BB and Vazduh <3 <3 )
