Throwback Tuesday- Jodeci

Remember meeting your friends at the mall to cop the black, combat boots? Mary J sported them. TLC wore them with their "safe sex" outfits. Don't act like you don't remember TLC wearing colored condoms from head to toe. But, you didn't wear the boots with style if the tube socks were not peeking from the tops.

You were in no way ready for war. You didn't have interest in joining the military. You simply saw how fly they looked on BET in the videos and had to have them. And we wore them with shorts, no less. Cross Color shorts. And Karl Kani shorts. Anything to be different, right? I strolled down that street in memory lane today.


The boots also reminded me of 4 brothers who created a new R&B sound in the 90s. 2 pretty boys ad libbing and playing instruments in the background. 2 average looking brothers tearing up the lyrics...singing their hearts out. Straight out of the south. Obvious training from the wooden floors of a country church house on a dirt road. Jo Jo bellowed with an expressionless face. K-Ci wallows on the floor without a shirt to show off the abdominal muscles slightly etched in his bird chest. His animation never overshadowed the Bobby Womack and Johnny Taylor soul emanating from his vocal chords. There was only 1 Jodeci. There will never be another.


Close your eyes on this classic...reminisce...Peace

You know that I've got it {Pick up the phone and dial my number}
So baby, just call me {Call me}
You know that I'll do it {Oh...oh...ho...}
