The Flashback Fridays For 12/30/16: Peppermint Patty & The Peanuts Crew - Musical Chairs (1986)

Image
With it being the last Friday and penultimate day of 2016, it's the 30 year anniversary of when this great special aired on TV, with one of the best New Year's songs ever.  It's of course from 'Musical Chairs" from "Happy New Year Charlie Brown," your last Flashback Friday choice for this year.  Enjoy, as The Flashback Fridays will comeback in 2017.

The Flashback Fridays #1 For 12/16/16: Pharrell ft Gwen Stefani - Can I Have It Like That (2005)

Image
Years before "The Voice", "Happy" and "Despicable Me" fame, but in the middle of becoming his own standout from Chad Hugo, Pharrell was firmly in the center of the hip-hop game with his own quality. Take it back a decade ago with his forever kindred spirit friend Gwen Stefani providing the simple, appropriate torn in chorus. It's of course "Can I Have It Like That" from a decade ago at this time. More from The Whole Delivery. Stay tuned. 

The Flashback Fridays #2 For 12/9/16: Lupe Fiasco ft Jill Scott - Daydream (2006)

Image
In more celebration for the 10 year anniversary that was "Food & Liquor," it's Sir Lupe with the second single off one of the underrated semi-classic music albums of all time. It's  "Daydreamin'" with one Jill Scott, your second Flashback Friday choice this week that is also from a decade ago . This is The Whole Delivery. 

The Flashback Fridays #1 For 12/9/16: Busta Rhymes ft Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliott, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, & DMX - Touch It (Remix) (2006)

Image
It may have had a million people on it, but for sure the remix to Busta's hit "Touch It" was even better than the original. Quality in rhyme and energy was felt all the way on this track.  So from a decade ago, it's all of these people with Earl Simmons included, with the always superb Swiss Beatz produced "Touch It (Remix)," as the flashback Fridays are back this week. More from The Flashback Fridays and TWD in a bit.
