im sure not the only one askin this question, but why cant music sound like this anymore?? i'm still going thru the grieving process. i jus can't face that it's gone..
Even though I wasn't able to pen the song that was sampled, I pretty much knew that the background music was sampled. It is an old school beat that has been used by a number of artists. However, a lot of these artist have sampled music -- and the funny part is that my ears pick it up but I can never recollect the first song that I heard it from. Then it becomes hard for me to listen to the song because I can I am trying to figure out the original song that I heard it from.
Do you know how long i've been searching for this song? I heard it on the radio in the mid 90's, taped it immediately and then LOST the cassette tape after about a year.
It's been 15 years now and this morning i've finally found it.... (slightly emotional).
That is a LOT more of my cousin than I ever wanted to see, but thanks for posting this. I haven't actually seen any of her videos other than "Be Careful"
Ironically the man behind this artist, R.Kelly, caused the switch from classic R&B to what I call "Bump-n-Grind." This is actually a sample from the Eddie Kendrick's classic "Intimate Friends." Eddie was one of the founding members of the Temptations but left because they were turning into a funk band in the late 60's.
She kinda looks like Terry Ellis of En Vogue. Terry Ellis also has kinda droopy eyes and she has a slight lazy eye. And Sparkle's eyes look just like hers.
Such a Quiet Place...(such a frowning face...)....so beautiful...the music of yester year....Sparkle is a class act, the choreography is stunning...Thanks for posting this...you have made my day!!!!
Love it, Love it!! She looks like a prettier version of Diana Ross mixed with a lil' Terry Ellis. Terry has them sleepy eyes too. But I just like Sparkle in general. She gives me that she is from another era.
The only reason i remember this vid is because it always played on midnight love on BET, but i never saw it anywhere else so thats why u probably never caught the vid.
Actually Kells was trying to get it about six years before that. She said that she knew first met him in 91. But he basically dropped her cause she wouldn't skrew him. Then he got her cousin. Who she introduced to him in hopes of getting her signed.
Yep her an her cousin met him then an started to do back up singing. The Aaliyah came to Kells in 93 an started to work on her first album which Sparkle did a lot of back up singing on. After that skip five years to 98 an her debut hit. Sparkle stayed dormant writing and doing back up.
Damn, I remember Sparkle. R.Kelly Fucked Up A Whole lotta shit! Sparkle, Boo and Gotti, Rockland Records,Best OF Both Worlds Album 1& 2, And Tha list goes on!! All On Tha Account of being a fuckin' perv!!!
they dont make music like this anymore love it

The 90's were definitely the best era for R'n'B.
Theses guys were really into making good music first and then money.
Today it's completely the other way round; they wanna make money and music is (one of) the ways to make some; Pffffff
