Changing Faces’ hit the scene with  two great singles,”Stroke You Up” and “Foolin’ Around” written and produced by R. Kelly, the hottest urban producer of the mid-’90s. Both singles reached the R&B Top Ten in late 1994, with “Stroke You Up” peaking at number three on the pop charts as well.

Changing Faces’ returned in 1997 with their second album, All Day All Night.  Kelly produced “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.,” the first single from the album, and it was their biggest hit to date, reaching number one on the R&B charts and number eight pop.

I’m sure we’ve all given a physical, verbal, mental or proverbial f*** you to an ex-lover at least once in our lives.  So everyone should be able to relate to the catchy lyrics of this new Cee-Lo joint.  Although I’m not sure how I feel about the kids in the video singing along, I think it’s a very fun and entertaining video.  Enjoy!!

“If Loving you is wrong, I don’t want to be right…” Man, those are the words of a man in love.  That man was Luther Ingram, an R&B singer and songwriter born in Jackson, Tennessee.  The song written by Homer Banks, Raymond Jackson and Carl Hampton scored Ingram a #1 Billboard hit and 1 million copies sold in the U.S.

As with many great musicians, Ingram started singing and writing music at an early age, but didn’t release his first record until the age of 28. Once he signed with KoKo Records, a small label owned by Ingram’s manager, Luther experienced more “commercial” success.  As the years went on, Ingram maintained a presence on the lower end of the R&B charts and was still a crowd favorite, often opening for Isaac Hayes in the late 70s and into the 80s.

Ingram eventually passed in 2007 from heart failure after suffering with diabetes complications for several years.

Today, we remember Luther Ingram and the love that made us not care if we were right or wrong.

Admittedly the ADDIKTS have slept on Jaz’s new joint! So looking forward to her new album!
