flashback friday



lillo thomas "i'm in love"

anyone who knows me knows how much i LOVE 80s r&b. but most ppl probably don't know the special place i have in heart for lillo thomas. this cut is from 1987 and is one of my favorites. the video is so 80s - the makeup, the hair, the snake, and all the lightskinned ppl. lightskinned ppl ruled the 80s.
in addition to his solo material, lillo's voice can be heard on the works of other great 80s r&b artists like evelyn "champagne" king, melba moore, freddie jackson, and r&b genius (GENIUS i say!) kashif. enough of me babbling...enjoy the video.
