*New* M.Y. Tuesday Time Machine: 1981-Before I Let You Go


You hear it all the time from your parents and your grandparents, "music just ain't what it used to be" so for that, we will take a ride back into time every Tuesday to get a glimpse into how music in the past has shaped our interpretation of Hip Hop and R&B today.

Today we will visit 1981 when Frankie Beverly and the Maze band dropped this hit that I'm sure you heard at every friggin party you went to and will probably still get spins at parties today.


Before I Let You Go - Frankie Beverly & Maze

First time I heard this song I was about 6 years old and I was at a party with my aunt (boy did she know how to party). When they popped this baby in the cassette player the house got live and everyone simultaneously shouted "this is my song!". I believe that is the day I fell in love with R&B.
