Look here.. ya’ll gone deal with Mr. O’ Neal on this day by god!! Shit it’s still the 80’s in the bamboobanga office.. We bump this nigga a few times a week.. NOVEMBER 15 is a HOLIDAY DAMNIT.. for this was the day .. a black boy by the name of Alexander was bought into the world…. Before there was Shaq .. we only gave a damn about this O’ NEAL..
Get a bar.. and don’t bring yo ass over here talmbout his teeth and dope problem.. HE IS WORKIN.. ON HIMSELF .. LOL..
We ain’t gone let you “CRITICIZE” Mr. O’ Neal … hahaha..
This man soared under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (The Time).. so yes .. he was yet another brick in the Minneapolis Music Machine.. (so thank Father Prince) although he is a country boy from Mississippi. He shined (both aesthetically and theoretically) ahem.. and teamed up many times with our girl Cherelle for classics like Innocent, Saturday Love, and Never Knew Love Like This… they were our Captain and Tenille, our Elton John and KiKi Dee if you will.. ENOUGH TALKIN.. get out your best cha cha shoes.. and let’s get to steppin!!!!!!
We gone start it off with one of my favorites… “SUNSHINE” This is a live performance for The Prince’s Trust in 1989.. yess they was rockin with our boy IN EUROPE AND WHATNOT.. Ya’ll better understand the crystal clearness of this man’s vocal’s before the yayo ravaged those vocal chords.. DAMNIT SANG IT MR O’NEAL!!!
Get a load of these 80’s coifs and ensembles children!!!!

OH ..that was awesome.. and understand .. Mr. O’neal’s inspiration is still felt ..
In 2011 young upstart and indie hero Toro Y Moi released his critically acclaimed EP “Freaking Out”
It was a great EP and it contained a magnificent re-working of Alexander and Cherrelle’s classic “Saturday Love”. Enjoy it .. and Enjoy your day …
