Heavy Rotation: 100 Yard Dash

November 19th, 2009

I love classic soul. And I love classic soul revival almost as much. Raphael Saadiq’s “100 Yard Dash” has been on heavy rotation in my life for more than a year now, but I feel that not enough people know about it, so I had to share.

If you remember the new jack swing group Tony! Toni! Toné! from the late 80s-early 90s, then you already know who Raphael Saadiq (aka Charlie Ray Wiggins) is. Maybe.

Anyway, I’m not going to go on and on about “100 Yard Dash,” because I think the song pretty much speaks for itself. It’s short and sweet and fun and goes down like honey, and makes me want to throw some sort of cocktail party where I can play it on repeat with no abandon. But for now it’s on the playlist. Enjoy!
