i just hit play on the duets playlist and i already feel seen because the way monica & usher's "let's straighten it out" went platinum in my house when that album first dropped?
Sit yourself down boy, and talk to me / Tell me what's on your mind / Don't keep on telling me ‘everything's okay'/ ‘Cause if it was / Then you wouldn't be crying
What a post! Thank you for this! And for experiencing and sharing your joy in the midst of this bleak and upsetting time. The playlist, Wow! 77WABC Radio in NY was my growing up station and “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, Bill, Stone Soul Picnic, One Less Bell to Answer” I remember every word, thanks, Danyel 💕 (ps — I saw Tom Jones a few years ago at the Chicago Theatre, blew the roof off, still!)
You know, Shine Bright took me quite some time to finish, because during the first chapter, I stopped, went back, and started a playlist of every song you reference. Such a lovely, happy time in my life (though it was not carefree and/or without immense harm), that I then had to listen to the playlist, and dance, cry, sing along (terribly)…imagine that with every single chapter, and you might understand what a profound gift your signed copy is for me.
