Ms. Jody - "The First Time"

I ADORE this song; it is so pretty.  I love Ms. Jody.  I've seen her in concert a few times and was able to meet her.  She has a fantastic personality, is friendly, and is a great performer.  "The First Time" is from her "Keepin' It Real' CD - I've got to buy a copy of this!!!

Every time is like the first time when we made love...

O. B. Buchana - "I'm About To Lose My Woman To My Wife"

Love the music of this southern soul song.  Now for the meaning, kind of crazy but hey, it could happen.  He loves his woman and his wife but he shouldn't have wondered what it would be like if he had both of them together.  He thought it was a dream come true but soon found out that was a mistake.

Be careful what you ask for!

Jaye Hammer - "Let Me Help You Get Even With Him"

Jaye finds that his friend is hurt because her man is cheating on her and the guy doesn't even seem to care.  He knows this guy really hurt her and says that he deserves to be hurt, too. The only way Jaye knows to ease the pain is to do to to her boyfriend what he did to her; the guy needs a taste of his own medicine and she deserves to pay him back. So, Jaye says that she should let him help her get even with her boyfriend tonight and make things right. Ha, is that a friend or what??

Enjoy!!

Snatch Nelson - "Dance the Night Away" and "Work It Like That"

Have you heard of Snatch Nelson?  I love his sound and he sings my kind of music, southern soul. Here are two of his songs: "Dance The Night Away" and "Work It Like That."

Here's a little of his bio according to Sonicbids (http://www.sonicbids.com/band/snatchnelson/):
SNATCH NELSON was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and reared in Kenner Louisiana, where he grew up listening to the all time great soul singers such as Otis Redding, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and other late great artists that lived in that era. Snatch Nelson's singing career began to accelerate when he got the chance to open shows for such artists as Dru Hill, Joe, Keith Sweat, and a host of others. Snatch left the music scene for about 10 years after the passing of his parents in the late 90's but now, Snatch Nelson is back!

Vick Allen - "I'm Giving It Up"

Oh yes, Vick!! He had been out all night long and his girl got fed up and said that she was leaving because she couldn't take it any more. So then he finally comes to his senses and sees how his behavior's been affecting her.  He said that if she gave him a second chance he would even go to church....he's a different man and is going to stop creeping and lying. He's giving it all up. It's about time!
