NOW WHO DIDN'T LOVE THEMSELVES SOME SWV? HONEY, I WAS A FAN AS SOON AS BET PREMIERED THEIR DEBUT VIDEO "RIGHT HERE." WITH THEIR CHEERLEADER SKIRTS AND JERSEYS, I WAS IMMEDIATELY HOOKED ON BOTH THEIR STREET-SASS IMAGE AND NEW JACK SWING SOUND. SO NATURALLY, WHEN THIS SONG, THEIR FIFTH TOP 20 HIT, WAS REMIXED AND RELEASED, IT QUICKLY BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF 1994. TOO BAD THAT A FEW SHORT YEARS LATER, FAME WOULD TAKE IT'S TOLL AND DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THESE TALENTED LADIES. FORTUNATELY, IN THEIR SHORT TIME TOGETHER, THEY LEFT A LEGACY OF SOME OF THE DOPEST SONSG OF THE NEW JACK ERA.
