    Bernadette Cooper was the female version of Morris Day lol. Klymaxx was, is and will always be one of my favorite girl groups of any decade. A great time to be growing up 🎶

I miss meeting people the real way. Now we got computers which began separating us from reality then covid finshed the job. Now what do we do? I say somehow Covid was caused by isolation , computers all somehow lowered our immune systems for real life interactions

      I’m 46 and still rocking the 80s 70s and90s . There will never be music like this anymore I grew up on all the best music and artists. Today these kids don’t know what real instruments, and real artists, with real talent, and real voices, sound like, yet alone what real music really is. These days were the best years ever. I miss them so so much. That’s why i need the old music.

Bad old audio footage, but the message is clear. Bernadette wanted nothing to do with any reunion that involved Cheryl.

    Holy Wow! I can't believe after all these years I finally found it! My mom listened to just about every music genre when I was growing up. She loved/loves this this band! My dad on the other hand was more into classic rock and country music. But I remember, I couldn't have been more than 4 in 86', my mom was playing this this album while cooking dinner. My dad (while the album was playing) asked my mom to play that "get it girl song" (She was actually saying Kitty girl) 😂. He loved to do the woof part 🤣 both me and my older brother started to mimic him and "woof" too! Great memories!

    I know I was lookin' good, I had my Kenneth Cole shoes on
    My Gianni Versace blue leather suit
    My nails were done and my hair was fierce
    And I was riding in a Cooper's limousine, don't you want to ride?
    I was at home feelin' sleazy
    So I went down to the speak easy
    As soon as my feet hit the door
    I had all attention from the dance floor
    Don't you know the men all pause?
    When I walked into the room the men all pause
    The men all pause when I walked into the room
    The men all pause and the brides held their grooms
    And they all sang the same old tune
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa check me out
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Starin' faces startin' to get tired
    I wanted to get out and go for a ride
    Maybe this boredom created my hunger
    So I said, "Pull over at the local fat burger."
