LadyG remembers 1985!

My last year of the carefree life!

And if you play any of these at your cook-outs this weekend give LadyG a shout-out!

Note: The titles of RMC posts are always based on a lyric from a song that was either popular at the time or was released in prior years and had an “evergreen quality.”

LadyG does not make edits on these posts, so enjoy all the gaps, studders, stammers, volume irregularities and stumbles you can find!

LadyG remembers 1984!

In this post, I retell a story about Luther Vandross told to me by my son, who, out of respect for his mama, only used the initials of the accompanying expletives.

I, however, say ALL OF THE WORDS right here on Seek The Best Blog!

Believe it or not, this spicy mama raised an absolute gentleman.

My Superman!

But, alas, since this post is based on 1984, it would take me another decade or so to meet him!

Based on a true story; events were slightly reimagined for dramatic effect by the author.

This is 1982 and LadyG learns a hard lesson about appearances including the complexities of marital relationships and the devastating results of repeated infidelity on an entire family.

Although today’s topic is deep, it ain’t gonna stop me from hitting you up with a few of my favorite jams from ’82.
