Nolan Thomas "Yo Little Brother"

[Moonshadow]

"Yo, yo little brother.  You wanna get it from yo dad or yo mother?"

A question no little brother should have to answer... but this is a forgotten funky little 80s track done in the style of Shannon/Starpoint by a guy who looked like Vanilla Ice. 

It's ridiculous but catchy.  The video is an acid trip:

1984 Club Play: #39
1984 R&B/Hip-Hop: #26
1985 Dance Sales: #9
1985 Hot 100: #57

So interestingly enough, the reason behind the Shannon sound lies in the fact that Chris Barbosa mixed and produced this track, which was on Mirage/Emergency records.

[620 Soul Train]

I remember this song and video very fondly. I only heard one other song of his which did not chart named "Too White", only once in 1985.

Yo' Little Brother if I remeber got to #48 on the Hot 100 and not #57

I like this one.  Used to hear hear this on that old school internet radio station based on Chicago's 102.7 WBMX (80s r&b/dance) I used to listen to about a decade ago.
