This brings back fond memories...and shows that music was not based on any form of body showing but beautiful songs!
oooh, gurrrl, thanks for doing this. Some of those ladies were serving something fierce e.g. Christiana Essien (fly outfit as well) and Mandy.
Ah, the memories...
Stella started PMAN? And you are right, we dont get our due credit cuz I am just getting to know she started PMAN. She is an achiever.
See Onyeka looking fabulously young where the heck did you get this wonderful pix from?
Lijadu Sisters, never heard of them and didn't they look amazingly superb?
Thanks for sharing this.
not stella christy. she recorded abroad and noticed all the session men etc had unions that protected them. when she got home she spoke with sunny okosuns and some others about starting PMAN. Then it happened.
onyeka has always been stylish. the black lace number she wore during late Princess Diannas visit had the good princess eyeing it well well.
for more on the lijadu sisters (twins)

Mandy did a popular remix of Bobby Bensons Taxi Driver... Ill try to include audio links... youll be shocked you know at least one song bay all of them
I can link up Mandy's "Taxi Drver" if you'd like...
Thanks. Im a huge fan of your blog and probably got half of these covers from it over time :-). I post links to you all the time on facebook too.
Im doing a reply to your post on Ntia. His most popular song is still hot because of a remake by King Zoro Boy a former band member of his that died last month( I started a facebook group a week b4 he died :-( An already salacious song... King Zoro Boy took salaciousness to anther level. Every time my mom travells to the uk she has to take CDs for friends...
Really? That's interesting... I don't think I've ever heard of King Zoro Boy! Do you have an mp3 of the song?
(And thanks for checking out the blog, by the way)
