SexyBlack Radio #SongOfTheDay is #GladysKnight & The Pips, classic 1974 cover of "Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me. The song, which only came out the year before, had already been covered by country artist, Ray Price. So, Gladys' take was the 3rd.
When you have lyrics as amazing as the ones featured in this song (penned by Jim Weatherly), it can transcend genres many times over. But it is rare. In my opinion, Gladys' version is the most timeless. And that's why, after 50 years, it's STILL a favourite on SexyBlack Radio.
This song STAYS in rotation on @SexyblackRadio along with hundreds of other classics from yesterday to today. You can also hear it from time to time during our Safe for Workday Play, Mon-Fri, 830 - 5PM EST, and in our Slow Jams block every weeknight from 9PM - midnight EST.

Soooo.... right as #Sexyback is ending, you may have noticed #JustinTimberlake disappear behind #thebrick as it took it's original position as part of the 2D wall to wall screen. Song ends.
Silence.
Darkness.
#Mirrors starts up. Encore time. But no Justin.
At that moment, the brick slowly starts to tilt downwards to reveal JT STANDING ON TOP OF IT!!!!
Now, officially, we've seen it all, or, so we thought....
Out of pure shock, I didn't get the reveal, but I got EVERYTHING ELSE. And you have to see it to believe what he and that damn brick did to close the show. Watch til the end.
Enjoy.
SexyBlack Radio was there.

@SexyBlackRadio was there...
Ok, so this one.... was special...
This was the closer.... and we done already saw #thebrick do just about everything! (See previous posts on SexyBlack Radio insta and on @curmor's insta page). Everything except... project a virtually 3D image without the aid of 3D glasses in stunning 4K quality. UNTIL NOW.
#Sexyback starts. A giant robotic statue #justintimberlake head not only fills the brick, but to the audience's amazement, literally appears to be emerging out of the brick and turning to look around the arena as it sings along to the song.
Look, I heard audible astonishment and realtime shock from fellow audience members who were instantly mesmerized and didn't seem to care anymore where the REAL Justin was or what he was doing.
Watch the above video to the end (it's important to fully understand the FINAL video coming next). My camera has limitations, so the FULL 3D experience may not have translated, but for the live audience, the amazement of this technology and creative lighting was everything.

SexyBlack Radio #SongOfTheDay is DJ Jazzy Jeff & the #FreshPrince's 1991 SMASH hit, #Summertime. As far as we're concerned, this is the duo's BEST work. It was the lead single off of their fourth album, Homebase.
It reached 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts. Ever since then, it has been used as a summer anthem. The song got them a Grammy thar year.

SexyBlack Radio #SongOfTheDay is #MariahCarey's joint with #Joe and #Nas, "Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) from her 1999 album, Rainbow.
The #remix chorus references #KeithSweat's huge 1988 hit, "Make It Last Forever". Joe smooths out and adds layers to this version of the song, Nas brings the street cred.

SexyBlack Radio #SongOfTheDay is Prince's gender-bending #timeless #classic #IfIWasYourGirlfriend off of his 1987 album. "Sign o' the Times".
Prince had prepped an album entitled Camille, which was his alter-ego. All of the songs were from her perspective. That album never happened. But this song survived those sessions. It is delivered from an androgynous male perspective to a woman, pondering if their relationship would be more intimate if they were committed.

SexyBlack Radio #SongOfTheDay is @JanetJackson's explosive #classic, "The Pleasure Principle", off of her smash album, 1986's #Control.
"The Pleasure Principle" was the sixth off Control, which had only 9 tracks. Although the album is considered a FlyteTyme (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis) classic, this song is the ONLY song on the album NOT produced by them. It was actually written and produced by Monte Moir, Jam & Lewis' band mate from #TheTime. It is a song about "taking control of a personal relationship ny refusing to settle for loveless materialism".
This track went to the top of the Dance Club and Hot R&B/Hip Hop charts. On the latter charts, it would be the fifth out of the six singles to go to number 1. The music video remains iconic and is carried entirely by Janet, slick choreography, and quick editing. It won an MTV Video Music award in 1988. The video has been re-enacted by #Mya, #Ciara, #Tinashe, and #Normani. Many have accused #Cassie of copying it for her 2006 debut video, "Me & U".

SexyBlack Radio was lucky enough to attend @seanjonesmusic concert at the @elmocambo featuring @glennlewis365 last night.
Here's the thing.... we knew Glenn would only do a couple songs. We knew "Don't You Forget It" would be one. But if we had one wish... it would've been for Fall Again off of the Maid In Manhattan soundtrack, that Michael Jackson JACKED for his Invincible album. Glenn's version has ALWAYS been the better of the two. Always. Fight us.
Well, Glenn OPENED with "Fall Again", and yes.... SexyBlack Radio was there to witness the re-emergence of Canada's Greatest R&B legend.

@SexyBlackRadio #SongOfTheDay is @shawnstockmanofficial's beautiful ballad, "Shawn Na Na" off of his 2020 solo release, "Foreword". The album cut features #RafaelSaadiq who is most recently responsible for #Beyonce's two new singles and sound.
Shawn had taken some time, while still being a member of multi-platinum group, #BoyzIIMen, to quietly work on and release a solo treat for his fans. Over the years, Shawn has become quite the instrumentalist, and he quite often picks up a guitar in almost all of BIIM's current live shows.
This track is a standout on Foreword and was actually released in late 2018. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, Shawn couldn't do as much promo for the album as he wanted to, but he made sure his core fans could find it.
We did and we love it.

@SexyBlackRadio #SongOfTheDay is #Mahalia's "Lose Lose" off of her latest (2023) release, #IRL. This is her BEST and most personal album. An instant classic.
Mahalia said, when asked about "Lose Lose", "I just find this song really sad.... going through this process with a partner means different topics and different stories. ...We actually wrote half of it together, and I finished the rest on my own."
