Traces of a Stream

This blog is named after a book by Jacqueline Jones Royster. While my goals for this blog are not quite as lofty as Ms. Royster's (promoting literacy and social change) I do intend to address ideas, philosophies, and policies that need to change. Since I consider myself a sociologist I will focus on anything social, which basically covers everything under the sun and then some. Topics will include my take on politics, music, sports, family issues, literature, to name a few.

Musical Memoirs - Top 5 On Friday - Week 183

This week Musical Memoirs ask what are your top 5 Vacation Albums (albums you have to have when you travel or make you think you're on vacation) . It was very difficult to choose just five, but here goes. These are in no particular order.

Teena Marie - Greatest Hits

Rufus (Featuring Chaka Khan) - Stompin' At The Savoy

Marvin Gaye - I Want You

Anita Baker - Compositions

Jeffrey Osbornes - Greatest Hits

I know there will be those you don't know who Teena Marie is so I am including a video courtesy of BET taped in 2006. She is doing her classic soul song "Deja Vu".
