Flashback Friday: Donell Jones and Whitney Houston

It’s Friday – what are you listening to?


Georgia Mae fan Diane Hawkins shares this one:

Donell Jones, Life Goes On (2002)


Diane said: Donell Jones’ music and voice epitomizes the Chicago sound. Even though “You Know That I Love You” was released in 2002, the Chicagoan’s mellow groove continues to have a timeless sound that can draw diehard Chicago steppers out on the dance floor without missing a beat.

Let’s see what Edward is rocking:

Whitney Houston, My Love Is Your Love (1998)


Edd said: Young readers might not remember this, but 13 years ago, there were no iPods, gas was less than $1 and Whitney Houston was one of the most desirable and talented women on Earth. Times have certainly changed.


Whitney’s 1998 album was somewhat of a comeback, as she took time off from music to pursue her movie career.
