Jerry & Katreese 'Katie' Barnes (brother & sister) had a song called "Sugar Free" a very under rated 80's jam imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =cC48BxmPHLk That song was most likely the inspiration for Mtume's Juicy Fruit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =0sr6S5SAuKs They are still together. Interesting that Katreese was music diretor for SNL. http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/J uicy.html http://www.myspace.com/jerryba rnes http://www.myspace.com/katrees e | ||

I loved Juicy... They had a great sound. But at the beginning they were not a duet but a group. Their first LP was even produced by Deodato. | ||

I never got into their hit "Bad Boy" but "Sugar Free" was the bomb & has been sampled a few times. | ||

I think Mtume "Juicy" came out first in 82 and Juicy's "Sugarfree" came later on in 85. During this time I was listening alot to Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing, Yarbro & Peoples and Rene and Angela. | ||

yeah cOzmic they don't make great songs like this anymore. Iused to bump this cut in the 90's and now! This song is always crisp the minute I hear it. If Sugarfree we're released today-it be a #1 hit in my book. (Message edited by DLM on July 18, 2010) | ||

Thanks for your reply DLM ! I hope to see one day that complete Soul Train-episode with Juicy. Not shure if they performed "Sugar Free" on that ep as well. Would be slammin ! |
