My Firsts - -
Jackson 5 - Mom and Dad bought it for me on tape.
(we also had an 8 track of them)
The firsts that I bought for myself -
Purple Rain, New Edition Candy Girl
I am a NEW EDITION FANATIC. In fact, as I type, sitting in the CD player of my car is NE Greatest Hits. My kids actually love Candy Girl and Popcorn Love. I would so much rather that they sing that instead of all that sleazy mess that kids like Jodeci and Ray J are making. Can somebody tell me what happened to music?
I still have a huge collection of vinyl records. In high school, my school had a radio station. I went to this private prep school in pebble beach, ca where I was one of about 10 black kids at the school (y'all are gonna trip when I tell you that the way they got the black boys was to go on this annual trip to oakland and recruit black boys to come to our school to play basketball. they'd give them full scholarships. they were all boarders - it was a boarding and day school - i'm not complaining though because otherwise i wouldn't have had any boyfriends!!!)
anyway, back to what i was saying - - the few of us black kids that were there, hosted this radio show called Super Soul Sunday. I was a DJ on the station. So, I've got all my records from high school. My best friend in college and I used to put on shows for people. We'd pull out those records and get down.
Sorry y'all that this is so long, but I'm reminiscing right now. I am truly a child of the 80's!!!
