Classic Vibe: New Edition "Mr. Telephone Man" (1984)

I can’t confirm, but this just might be the oldest ‘Classic Vibe’ I’ve done since I started this blog. You may have also heard the version of this song by Diddy’s former girl group “Dream” that they released back in...

Editor Pick: Jon B. – Pleasures U Like

Here is another song that I asked Jon about in the interview. The title track for his 1999 third solo album, “Pleasures U Like” is one of those smooth feel good tracks that you can just throw on at any time. To be honest, I probably have this in my top...
