"I found it...The Pressure, Pt.2 "

"I know, just who to call on, when I need relief I pray...
To help me fight...the pressure, the pressures of the world, ooooh the pressure the pressure...."

In my futile search for the mix tape I have with "The Pressure, Part 2" by the Sounds of Blackness on it, I've been shuffling through tapes I haven't listened to in YEARS. Ok, so that's a lie...I listened to alot of them when Hurricane Isabel hit and there wasn't much else to do without power, nor a hurricane honey, but I digress....

All Seasons - Levert
I Will Always Love You - Troop
Flavor of the Month - Blacksheep
I Do Love You - Bell Biv Devoe
Jackin' for Beats - Ice Cube
Special - Vesta (this be my jam right hea now, luvs me some Vesta!!)
Always - Cherrelle and Pebbles

Back in the day, I guess I was rather fond of love songs...wasn't 'til I got jaded that I picked up this fondness for songs about love lost, but anyhoo LMAO

Still haven't found what I'm looking for, so it's time to make that CD purchase. The BN gift card comes in nicely, especially since Evolution of Gospel is on sale. I will hear what I need to, soon enough.

Da Jams #2 -- I KNEW IT!!! My memory is pretty damn good when it comes to my tapes. I just couldn't find it. Turns out, I'd put it in a different case last time I gave it a listen. So it wasn't where it was SUPPOSED to be. But persistence paid off. I found it.

"I know, just who to call on, when I need relief I pray...

This has to be circa 1991-92, with some ol' Miles Davis thrown in for good measure cuz he'd just passed:

Make Sure You're Sure - Stevie Wonder
Are You Still in Love With Me - Keith Washington
Loving You is So Easy - 101 North
and a perennial favorite...I, Who Have Nothing - Luther Vandross and Martha Wash

But the last cut on the tape...When Will I See You Smile Again - BBD...yep, that must be when my cynicism kicked in. Been feeling the love lost ever since LOL
