Carl Thomas is back in the spotlight today with the title track to his debut album. It peaked at #8 on the R&B chart and samples "Shape Of My Heart" by Sting.

Emotional - Carl Thomas

[Soulsista]

Today's extras are from their album Survivor. This single, built on a sample of "Edge Of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks, famously blocked "Loverboy" from the top spot on the Hot 100. On the R&B chart, it was the reverse: this song peaked at #2, kept from the top by "Loverboy".

Stevie Nicks makes a cameo in the music video:

Bootylicious - Destiny's Child


The Rockwilder remix features Missy Elliott.

---

Their next single was a remake of a 1977 hit by Samantha Sang. Their version peaked at #28 R&B and #10 on the Hot 100.

Emotion - Destiny's Child


MADtv Parody:

[312999]

Bootylicious has quite grown on me a bit and I find it to be a bit of a guilty pleasure now.

Today's extra was the follow-up to their #1 R&B hit "It's Over Now". It peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and #4 on the Hot 100, and received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance By a Duo Or Group.

Peaches & Cream - 112

[Soulsista]

Today's extras are from her self-titled third album. The lead single peaked at #15 on the R&B chart and features Timbaland.

Her next single peaked at #2 R&B and #14 on the Hot 100. It received a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and has been covered and sampled numerous times since its release.

Rock The Boat - Aaliyah


The music video, directed by Hype Williams, would be the last one Aaliyah did in her lifetime. After finishing filming, she boarded a plane to head back to the US. The plane crashed shortly after taking off, killing her and eight others. The 23rd anniversary of her death was this past Sunday.
