TP is a legend. he is responsible for indirectly producing a generation of children through the songs that he had.i am still searching online for that live LP that my dad had that starting with Come and go with me, Close the Door, Turn off the lights ....

Classic Ballad

Ok it took me a minute actually decide which of the classics would be the next ballad that I was going to post. For those of you that don't know me as well as the rest, this song,out of the thousands of songs, is MY SONG.
I really didn't know if I would post a video...because I find it a wee bit cheesy to have it with the lyrics. My only other choice was to have a really bad quality live performance.That one didn't do the song justice. Then there was finding a picture ....is Rick James "Street Songs" album cover with those thigh high boots really going to do it ....nah.
Either way Fire and Desire-Rick James and Teena Marie

WHY ????????????????????

Why, Why, Why
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That hurt, you stupid idiot?'

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. I've done my job and posted this for you.

Classic Ballad

I have always been a fan of the classic love song,oldies ballads are favorite of mine. Even when we had our old radio show" Red-light Radio" on Project Bounce we used to end each funk-filled episode with a classic slow jam.It was a bit odd for a hip hop station. So was having an old school show end off a week of tunes that would make you break your neck.Being the hopeless romantic that I am I think I am going to bring back that tradition as best as I can. This track is not my favorite of ballads but it is one that tugs at your heart...sniff sniff
My commentary doesn't do it justice. Let Steve Harvey of the Kings Of Comedy tell you about it
