Flashback Friday: New Jack Swing
Let me tell ya bout the New Jack Swing! YEP YEP
What can you say about the era of high top fades, biker shorts as acceptable clothing for class, a lot of HBCU wear (thanks to A Different World), weave, weave and more weave – and deep, thought provoking pearls of wisdom such as “never trust a big butt and a smile”??
LMAO
Here are a few of my favorites from the New Jack Swing era:
Bobby Brown – My Perogative
Guy – Teddy’s Jam
Johnny Gill – Fairweather Friend
Jodeci – Come and Talk To Me
Christopher Williams – All I See
Keith Sweat – I Want Her
Tevin Campbell – Alone With You (this song got me in so much trouble on the dance floor!)
Boys 2 Men – MotownPhilly
Bell Biv Devoe – Poison
Alexander O’Neal – Innocent
Heavy D & The Boyz – Girls They Love Me
Wrecks N Effect – The New Jack Swing (I know the fellas would have preferred Rumpshaker!)
Too many to name really, just a few of my personal favs! What are some of yours??
