Double Diva Dose
Big hair and bigger attitudeby j. brotherlove
Those who know me understand that I seek refuge in classic, deep house and disco. I mean, when the world is running you down, what else can you do? I’ve been banging a lot of the hits recently in the car, singing along at full volume (to the confusion and chagrin of Southwest Atlanta caught up in the BET Hip-Hop Awards).
Sing-along won’t you:
I should probably mention for the youngins in the house that the above diva is Linda Clifford. Ooh baby! Either you get it or you don’t. And judging from the posts I see on the hookups sites, the message still resonates.
Now, if I fast forward a bit to a time when radio was a bit more… colorful we get this popular tune:
To be honest, some of RuPaul’s best work was done before he became Supermodel of the World.
That’s right, I’m talking about StarrBooty! The good news is, like the Democrats, StarrBooty is back and “hotter than a crack pipe on payday”. So hot, in fact, that YouTube yanked the trailer for being “too explicit”. For now, you can check out RuPaul’s Kinky Freaky with scenes from StarrBooty: Reloaded (The Movie).
After you watch these videos, you you better work!
ALL HAIL LINDA CLIFFORD!! Gawd, I’m getting misty just thinking about the many, many Deep House and Disco moments I’ve had with her music. A few years ago she did a rather popular House tune called “changin’” which had several remixes. Check it out.
