Though many deserve consideration on this weeks OSF theme -Luther, Left Eye, Marvin Gaye, M.J. and many others, I’m dedicating the entire post to Aaliyah. She made so much wonderful music in such a short period of time. Even with 4 videos represented here, I’m still missing One in a...
The Marvalus One has thrown out a doozie this week. The only direction: I had a crush on. There are a lot of candidates: Tracy Spenser, Shanice, Salt & Pepa, Dawn from EnVogue. But I had to go with the following: Vanessa Williams – Just For Tonight Who didn’t love...
All I can say is that as a high school senior and college freshman I rocked Sade all the time. I guess rocked is sort of a misnomer, b/c it often accompanied a melancholy mood. Sade gave way to Mary J. though (why did Sade quit making music?). Looks like...
This week’s Old School Friday topic is workout/exercise songs. I’m always looking for suggestions so please feel free to comment with songs you workout to so I can add them to my playlist. Happy OSF!!! Beastie Boys – Sabotage Nelly #1 L.L. Cool J – Mama Said Knock You Out

Well the Marvalus One decided to slow it down this week, going with an Old School Friday theme of First Date/Love Song. So I go back to the days of puppy love, breathing on the phone saying nothing, and 3 month relationships. The song that always comes to mind when...
My first thought was Rick Ross “Everyday I’m Huslin’” but that’s not really Old School, so I thought I’d go with an oldie but goodie…..GRINDING! HAPPY OSF
This one was easy. I was a huge En Vogue fan back in the day. They came along during the heart of my teenage years, and could do not wrong as far as I was concerned. So consider this the En Vogue edition of Old School Friday. This is a...
K-CI & JOJO – All My Life by Momo59-93 This one was easy. Here’s the song that Martin Hodges played as Ms. Tamela Fields walked down the aisle of the Unity Center almost 11 years ago and became my wife. Even at the age of 24, I had prayed for...
