Rene & Angela - Street Called Desire



There is no way in the world that I cannot leave this ultra magnetic R&B album on the sideline, away from the rest of the masterpieces we laid down for y'all on the Back In the Day page/blog! Especially when we are talking about the magnificent connection of Rene & Angela from the 80's! When it came time to turn out the lights, other than jammin' Luther or Teddy, they received serious airplay. And it didn't matter what kind of system it got playback on, if you know what I mean...

Track Listing:
~ Save Your Love (For #1)
~ I'll Be Good
~ No How - No Way
~ You Don't Have To Cry
~ Street Named Desire
~ Your Smile
~ Who's Foolin Who
~ Drive My Love


1st of all, let me say this: Angela Winbush has 'madd' skills on the piano-vocalist dept. You all should already know by now that after her stint with Mr. Rene Moore, she carried on to treasure us with beautiful, original slow ballads from her collectibles of hits, so deep, it may be the reason why she ended up getting married to another slow crooner who left the same legacy - Mr. Ronald Isley. I hope I am not leaving a bad impression of those two by mentioning his name (because of his legal troubles & divorce), but whenever Angela dropped those secular melodies on the map, it got picked up & played back with the fireplace activated, wine glass poured, ambiance set & so on...No bad impression at all!



And she represented everything romantically expressive before hand with "Your Smile" (Video above!). (Ah Man..!) The lyrics was so serious & deep, it propelled & motivated my ability to leave some unique, quality words (yes...THE MACK!)  to a special young lady back in the day, helping my game out! And with that said, Thanks Angela! (Its still workin' baby!); "You Don't Have To Cry" serenaded its way into our Top Ten Slow Jams - Track #10 category & the current Video Of The Month on the Back In The Day Page. No need to elaborate any further. Nah!

What really grabbed my attention is how they jammed the box! Either slow or fast grooves! "I'll Be Good" was dazzling, right next to "Save Your Love (For #1)". In fact, those tracks should've been on the charts. High up there!

The reflection of the 80's, 1985 to be exact, brought the best out of Rene & Angela. And who knows what could've happened if they remained together. I mean, we all knew when & where Angela Winbush decided to go, but Rene released his own solo project without much success.

Ms. Winbush is the ultimate entertainer & delight. Not to mention gorgeous! Her tremendous amount of energy & passion in her music can be wildly felt. Not to mention her talents as a producer, songwriter, arranger, vocalist, etc.
I hope to see her come back to us again one day.

In the meantime, Its On! Kick back & play this one back! The essence & memory off this badd mamajama will control your flow.

Lights Out!
