This song was actually nominated for a grammy. I LOVE this song!


Mint Conditon IS VERY UNDERRATED They are one of the best R&B bands still around and the only live 90's band that still tours. I think the legacy of this group and their influence is crazy underrated. There shows are AMAZING. I am dying to see them LIVEEEE!!! Stokley is such an incredible singer and they all are great musicians.

Gosh I love this band!! Still doing the damn thing after 20 years despite lack of acknowledgement from the industry


I will come back and discuss their albums.
