Wayback Wednesdays
Today's trip down memory lane is another musical one. For some strange reason I was thinking about these two in the shower and their musical attempts and I was like Ok this would make an interesting wayback, lol lol.
I liked both the songs, but knew that they wouldn't have long standing musical careers. My one question I suppose is why didn't Tichina Arnold ever record outside of the Sprung Soundtrack?

As a child, she could be found competing in, and winning, many singing competitions, going on to appear in such children's programs as Big Blue Marble, Kids Are People Too and Captain Kangaroo. At age 15, she traveled to London to star as one of the three singers/narrators in the film version of Little Shop of Horrors. A graduate of the Arts High School in Newark, she then moved to Hollywood, where she became a star on the short-lived series, Rags to Riches.

She then produced the film short, A Luv Tale, about two women who fall in love with each other. The film would go on to win many awards, including the Audience Choice Award at the Black Hollywood Film Festival.

Jasmine Guy was born to an African-American father and a European/Southern American mother, Guy was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she attended the former Northside High School (which merged with North Fulton High School to form North Atlanta High School). Her father, the Reverend William Guy, was pastor of the historic Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, which served as an early home to Morehouse College and Spelman College. (The latter school served as the setting for "Hillman College," the fictional school depicted in A Different World.) She later studied dance at Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York City in 1981.
During the run of A Different World, she released her self-titled debut album in 1990, which spawned three Billboard Top 100 hits: "Try Me", "Another Like My Lover", and "Just Want To Hold You." In the spring of 2006, Jasmine spoke to the graduating class at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and revealed that she will record a second album. She commented that of all the entertainment industries, the music industry was the worst. She will sell her new album online herself and not through a major label, similar to the marketing strategy used by Prince.
She married Terrence Duckette in 1998. The couple has one child, a girl named Imani, born in 1999.
