“Get on Up” came from Jodeci’s last album, The Show, The Afterparty, The Hotel released in 1995. I love this song because its so inspirational, the cadence reminds me of a church song. This song also reminds of those 7 to 7s at World on Wheels. The DJ used to play this song for the backwards skate. My uncoordinated ass could barely skate forward, which didn’t stop me from going to World on Wheels every Sunday afternoon during my teen years.

Jodeci is one of my all time favorite R&B bands, too bad they got destroyed by music industry demons. I’ve read that they’re coming out with a reality show (who doesn’t have a reality show these days?) about Jodeci’s comeback, but let’s keep it real. The time has passed. They’re better off dropping a greatest hits album and doing 90s reunion shows. We’ll always have Forever My Lady, Diary of a Mad Band, and The Show, The After Party, The Hotel to remind us of those classic Jodeci moments. Remember when Jodeci guest starred on Martin? Classic Martin episode!
