Now, on to business. As I have stated, Music Sunday for the entire year of 2010 will be my personal favorite cd's or albums, whichever you prefer. I'm kind of weird about numbers and when I realized that there are 52 Sundays in the year, I just figured I would wait and start in two weeks to give it an even 50. The format will be different than this. This is just a sort of intro.
Next week, I will bring you the honorable mentions. The cd's that just didn't make the cut. But today, I bring you the first cd I ever purchased.
Released in 1996 to coincide with the movie, I was about 9 or 10 when I had some money saved up from some odd jobs. I had gotten a portable cd player to replace the Walkman I had been handed down and I, like most of America at the time, loved the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. So naturally, I loved this movie and HAD to have the soundtrack. Searching for the clips that you will find below brings back so many memories and makes me laugh to go back to that time, especially because this is NOTHING like the music I would come to love.
Some personal stories:
*I remember singing "I Believe I Can Fly" for my Grandma one day. So, next Christmas she bought me a snow globe with that song in it. I need to find that thing...
*Riding my back around the neighborhood bobbin my head thinking I was SO cool
*More recently, we had a "trivia night" at my friend's apartment complex and one of the questions was they played a clip of a song from a movie. My friend, joking around, kept saying "SPACE JAM" and I'd be damned if the last song wasn't R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly"
So please, enjoy these tracks from the first cd a future music lover ever purchased.
So tell me, what was the first CD you ever purchased?
