bLISTerd: Want “Real Love”? Well, Here’s A Top Five

A list of the top five songs entitled “Real Love”.

The Viewfinder: Eric Benet’s “Real Love”

As a commenter on Eric Benet’s page writes, “this man has been through some stuff.” While the mainstream pop audience only knows Eric for his brief turn as Mr. Halle Berry, the fact is that the Milwaukee-reared singer/songwriter has been a mainstay in the R&B world for two decades.

Award Show Sundays: New Jill Swing Edition

Even back in 1993, it might not have been the greatest idea to have CeCe Peniston and Mary J. Blige sharing a six-minute stretch on the Soul Train Music Awards. But it happened, and we have proof!

Thankfully, BET made up for Chris Brown’s crocodile tears by featuring El DeBarge in two separate segments. El has not released an album […]
