Remembering Rhythm & Blues: If You're Serious, Riff, So Am I....

If You're Serious, Riff, So Am I....

I know I've been away for a minute, but I come back singing a song that reminds me truly of what I've been feeling with regards to all my blogs. Running these things ain't easy, but damn the joy they bring me is incredible
~~and it sure beats going to any head doctor~~! So, you guys remember Riff? Well, their song, If You're Serious, is my one hitta quitta and in case you need it, here's some background from a reviewer on Amazon.com:

After making a notable appearance in the 1989 film 'Lean On Me,' Riff went on to release their debut album in early 1991. Their first single, "My Heart Is Failing Me" was, and still is a sparkling midtempo ballad that definitely foreshadowed relatively recent boyband creations like "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" by the Backstreet Boys and "This I Promise You," by Nsync. However, Riff is probably most fondly remembered for "If You're Serious," another ballad that defined the summer of 1991 along with Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up." The final single from this album was a remix of "Every Time My Heart Beats," an uptempo that is so peppy, it's hard not to smile when listening to it.

Well, I'm 'seriously' in love with blogging and I'm 'seriously' in love with this song. Shoot, they just don't make songs like they used to and with a mellow chorus like this...

If you're serious
If you wanna make it last
If you're serious
Then this is all I ask
Just believe in us
All we have to do is try
If you're serious

So Am I

I ain't ashamed to say that I'm a PROUD owner of this CD!
