I really enjoyed putting this together. I especially enjoyed pulling Mtume's Ready For Love out of the crates (a sorely underplayed track), Patrice Rushen's
The Dream from her album Posh, and Chapter 8's I Just Wanna Be Your Girl, with vocals by Anita Baker before she went solo.

It's the end of '08, and I wanted to end it with a bang. Unfortunately, my sisters and brothers, I'm under the weather and trying to maintain. I'm recuperating slowly but surely, but I'm going to have to postpone the Old School Wednesday until next week. Not to worry- I'm still working on my top 8 albums of 2008, and the top 20 tracks of 2008 as well.
From my count, I've dropped over 200 Old School Wednesdays, and it's definitely not going away in 2009- it's just going to get better. I owe it all to you, because without you, I would not have the strength to keep it going.
And that, my people, is the real deal. HAPPY 2009! And as usual....take it light.
It's a little cold outside. Let's warm it up.

Of course, you know I had to jump back to excelent disco by Shalamar, one of The Whispers' forgotten hits (produced by Leon Sylvers III), and Chaka's voice, but I would be remiss if I didn't put a little Patrice Rushen, Stevie, and two requests- After 7 and Sybil.

Work's kinda hectic these days. Thanks to the mind of G-Fresh, I managed to get this out in time. Gotta say that Dazz Band's Magnetized and Klique's I Can't Shake This Feeling were tracks I had never heard before which made my day. It just made Donna McGhee, Maze, and The Isley Brothers that much sweeter. Got requests? Send an email to ejflavors at gmail dot com.

They're the leaders, I'm just the provider. Mr. Anatole, G-Force, and Ms. Yvette are the three forces that were able to come up with a mix representative of Thanksgiving. Using the two words that make up Thanksgiving - "thanks" and "giving," they were able to come up with a solid list. I present to you:
