You are my lady wasn’t Luther Vandross??

I haven’t listened to it for years cause I couldn’t find it on Apple Music under Luther.

I'm gonna be honest myself.... as a 39 year old black man, I couldn't name a Freddy Jackson song myself either.

Growing up, my parents played 80s black gospel so I know names like Larnell Harris, or super mainstream cats like Peabo Bryson etc.

Cookouts definitely didn't have spades often(dominoes sometimes), or beer coolers.

It is what it is.

I just turned 30 and that was my favorite Luther song

Makes sense. But then again Freddie Jackson and Luther sound nothing alike?

I’ll give you a pass OP.

He does sound similar to Luther in that song but as long as you know the song that’s enough.

Not really, for us who are really into music. We dont understand how many people simply just know the hits and only those.

Like when Frankie Beverly past, i know most people know that 1 song and maybe 'Joy and Pain'.

Yea i give him a pass too because i asked my pops the same question when i was younger and he corrected me and im 42 so it wasnt my era. Also there was tons of good music back then it just depended on what type of time your parents were on. By the time i was born my parents were’nt getting high anymore so most of those fiend songs from Snowfall i didnt hear in my household. Mostly gospel from my mom and my pops had the teddy P, freddie jackson, barry white, and surface in rotation.

I had a friend who parents listened to a lot of rock and that blew my mind

naw that version of POD sampled O'bryan you and i (which was originally a stevie song)

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

It’s actually crazy they never credited Murphy Lee for the production, partial as it was

[Devilinurear]

It's always weird when people who listen to hip hop don't know the old artists. You would think hip hop fans would be the most knowledgeable when it comes to music

When I was a young child, I thought "Nobody" by Keith Sweat was sung by Waldo from Family Matters

Might as well have been

 

[Walt]

This still aint a flagrant as a lady I knew back in the day thinking that Gina from Martin sang Square Biz

I'm in tears

Confusing Freddy Jackson and Luther Vandross is wild
