27.Woman To Woman - Barbara Mason – I played this role quite often…If my man was cheating with you? Sweetie…you getting a phone call….and quite possibly a beat down!

28. Confessions Part II – Usher – I forced the Ranting Runt to do this to his girl…he had to confess…I had too much evidence!

29. You Oughta Know - Alanis Morrisette – But I ended up singing this song!

30. Cowboys and Angels - George Michael – Now this is a song to the one who broke my heart the best….I should have learned from the lyrics:

You can call it love
But I don’t think it’s true
You’re not to blame
It always ends the same

Please be stronger than your past
The future
May still give you
A chance

And it does…those who want to cheat…they will always find a way to….I’m glad to say that I am a reformed cheater. It won’t happen again (never ever…never ever?) Yes never again. I have finally found the man who deserves my faithfulness. Scribe….the most wonderful man I have ever met. Thank you God…for finally giving me the rest I needed in him.

Which was your favorite cheating song?

BENTLEY'S VOL.1

My blog sister Ladybug made a request in my comments last week. She slightly complained that although she liked the 80's...she wanted to hear something from the 90's. Since most of my partying was done during the 90's...I was all to happy to oblige her!!!!!!!

In honor of your return to the blogworld and because you were brave enough to believe in me...that I would actually complete it!

This List is also special to me because it reminds me of the club Bentley's. Bentley's was the longest running nightclub in NY before the Shadow Nightclub. They are/were both owned by the same guy. The lines for Bentley's used to be around the corner...down from 40th St and Madison...all the way down to 42nd ST! Not that I know anything about standing on that line....when I was 18...I dated the DJ...DJ the DJ...Darryl James...my DJ Mentor. Man was he cool....He was 10 years older than me...but never made me feel my age....My friends...my cousins...me...all of us used to get in for free....He would say how many you bringing? 5,8,10...it never mattered to Darryl...DJ Diva was getting in...and all my friends were cute LOL! He taught me so much about music...switching songs...keeping the party going....More on him later I guess...but thanks Darryl...what you taught me...never left me!

Now onto the Music!

Over Thirty Thursday/ Old School R & B vol.1

I am having so much fun digging through my crates!

As Scribe said in his comment on the last post….there is a wealth of music floating around the house….stuff that I put together while I was active in the DJ life…Old School, Rap, Slow Jams, Spanish Music, Reggae…you name it …I played it!

But for today…we have:

OVER THIRTY THURSDAY/ Old School R&B Vol 1 !!!!!!!!!
(click the title for the music)

Music for those who were born in the 70’s…

For me…the 80’s was the beginning of my DJ career…My mom and dad were clubheads…who used to do the hustle in the living room to practice their routines before they hit the disco….My mother began to ask that I put the needle on the records. Then when she realized my talent for it…she would tell me to keep the party going! While her and my godmother drank a half pint of Bacardi…I would keep playing her 33s and 45s…until they finally were hyped up enough to hit the discos…As a result…my memory for the hottest songs of the 80’s is quite extensive…

Disco…that will be next thursday LOL

I wanted to share the track listing…and why these songs stuck with me so long….

1. Aint No Stopping Us Now- Now this of course is a classic. I don’t need to say much do I?

2. Keep On- This song always reminded me of struggle and perseverance. One of my dad’s favorites…I love the break that comes around minute 6…REACH…REACH…You’re almost THERE! Don’t you…let nobody…keep you…from reaching the top!

3. I Hear Music In The Streets - Man…watch my mom and godmom work their big asses around the livingroom to this song was straight comedy! Classic Line: “When I hear the music, I can’t help but get down“…and I still can’t…..

4. Over Like A Fat Rat - Come on man…who doesn’t know this song?

5. One Night Love Affair- Whoa…I mean like whoa…This song came out in the 80’s…but it was such a testament to my life in the 90’s….What woman doesn’t identify with this song? Classic line:

“I’m a fairytale princess in search of a knight,
and I never believed dreams come true
I’m just like you”
6. Victim: my personal all time favorite song. Period. I identify with song soooooooo much. How many times have you been a VICTIM? I know I have been….too many times to count! Candi Stanton really put our feelings into words…the idea of meeting a man…thinking it will be great…only to realize that he has moved on to the next bitch….chick I mean LOL

Classic Line:

“Already, I’m being left at home

I wonder what it is

that makes a man leave a girl so all alone

Another woman is usually the thing

Running round just don’t seem to change

I’m a Victim!”

WORD Candi!!

7. Watching You- My uncle Al used to love this song….he would change the lyrics and it always ended up that nobody was watching anybody LOL

8. Let It Whip- My mother would put this on before she would beat us…Nuff said!

9. Circles- I remember spinning around and around in the livingroom with my father…I am still a great hustle dancer thanks to him! LOL

10. Give It To Me Baby- My dad would come home from his club hopping, tore up from the floor up, and throw this on at 4 am. Used to wake up everybody in the house! But he used to get what he wanted LOL…Now this reminds me of my husband …he’s always begging for it! LMAO

11. Just Be Good To Me- This song didn’t have an impact on me until later in life…when I was trying to rationalize being with a player…It didn’t work obviously….but while I was a Hebrew…and in a polygamous relationship….it provided me some solace….

12. There’ll Never Be- Why come I didn’t know that was El Debarge until I was grown?

13. Gotta Get You Home- eh…I just liked this one LOL

I hope you enjoyed my first Over Thirty Thursday…Stay tuned for more…

Love,

DJ Diva
