Well I’ll be! thx for the edit…I actually have this album on CD! I am pretty sure I’m the only person I personally know who has it or Dream Street! The album has a stellar track called Say You Do and Dream Street has 2 tracks produced by Jesse Johnson…foreshadowing her Time-ly input from bandmates Jam & Lewis! I have so many Rhythm Nation related promo remixes (mostly Cd though) from working at a record store when the album came out it’s insane! I used to have a life size cardboard Janet from RN 1814 too! Saw her on that… Read more »
I´ve never heard this song as far as I can remember. Love it. And I´ve always loved JJ´s unique voice.
Very surprising that this is only the second JJ 12″ you´ve posted. Where´s “Escapade”, “Pleasure Principle”, “When I Thing Of You” and so on and so forth? 🙂 I´m looking forward to your next upload of one of Ms Jackson´s master works. Oh, btw: here first name ain´t Baby haha.
Too, too cool, Paul! Janet Jackson is a real treat. Thank you for posting this song by her.
Jeff
Please, what is possible with the “Rhythm Nation 1814” 🙂
