Blue Magic 1972 –
Welcome to the sideshow, where the freaks are you and me.

Who Did It Better
As
1976 Stevie Wonder
1999 Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige and George Michael took Stevie cosmic love song and turned it into an intimate 3 a.m. argument. Two people who truly know what forever costs. They are still trying to convince each other the same impossible promises are still worth making together.

If You Don't Know Me By Now
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me
Time runs out for understanding. A relationship reaches its breaking point. Familiarity should have grown by now. The singer laments love without true knowledge. Surface-level connection is not enough. Deep knowing requires years together. The ultimatum arrives with heavy certainty. Love cannot survive fundamental ignorance.

You’re Kidding, Right
Donald Byrd held a PhD in music education from Columbia University and taught at Howard, Rutgers, and North Carolina Central. A jazz cat with more degrees than a thermometer. Proved that intellectual rigor and street-level funk could coexist.
He brought the classroom to the club and the club to the classroom.
Soul in the Movies
The Other Woman 2014
The Other Woman is a revenge comedy starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton as three women who discover they're all dating the same man. The Emotions' 'Best of My Love' closes the film -- a celebration of sisterhood after the love is gone. The song is about joy that doesn't require a man.
Best of my love. The sisterhood already had it.
