This put me in the mood to listen to his first album The Bachelor. The Bachelor is my personal favorite album of all time but I hadn’t listen to it in a few years. I remember the first time I heard Pony in summer of 1996 .
It was a hot summer song that played in every house party and club me and my boy Shervin Springer went to that summer. I remember thinking ‘ok this dude’s just going to be a one hit wonder’. I thought I was right when the Pony remix hit the airwaves . The next hit video off the Album would be a soulful hit titled –Tell Me Do You Wanna. It was mostly played on BET and R&B stations like New York Hot 97 & 98.7.
I was like ‘ok cool he had another good song’. It wasn’t until the third track I took notice. I’ll Do Anything / I’m Sorry video came on BET one day as I was home from work the video and song spoke to me.
At the time I was just broken up with my girlfriend. I was in my early 20s and I was just having fun I really didn’t take the relationship seriously. So, she broke up with me and, being a young dude, I didn’t think much of it. But something about this song and video really got to me. Shervin said ‘well its because the girl in the video looks like your ex’ and I was like shit – I think you right. This was 1996 y’all so I said lets go get this CD!! Which means we had to go to the Wiz on Fordham in the Bronx. Lol man, kids got it easy now the hear a song and BOOM – download it on iTunes. Anyway, I got the album, put it in my old-school, huge-ass disc man and I was a instant fan of what I was hearing. 15 tracks of pure electronic infused soul with a hip hop influence .

So here’s to you Ginuwine I’m tipping my scones to you and your amazing debut album – The Bachelor.
