“Juicy Fruit” (1983) by Mtume... they don’t make R&B like this anymore
Wow. This just came on a playlist, and I haven’t heard this one in years! I think the last time I heard this was around 2002.
What a throwback! They just don’t make good R&B like this anymore. This is super smooth, kind of funky, but catchy and sexy all at the same time. I love her vocals on this and how catchy the beat is. Amazing song.
What happened to them? They didn’t seem to last long.

One of most sample songs in music, written by the great James Mtume!

It’s pronounced “em-too-MAY.”

I love that post disco period of club music that was very R&B. D Train comes to mind.

That's the great Tawatha Agee on lead vocals.
She was part of Luther Vandross' backup singers and Luther's best buddy continues that supergroup of singers to this day. Good chance any high profile musical event, they will be hired.

Speaking of Luther, was he fucking that twink or the twink's dead brother?

Tawatha “Thigh Ride” is great too.

The dead brother was his lover.
