I can confirm it's very good, and that to this day I cannot take "I and I" off my head. I knew nothing about her when I received the promo CD of her album, and if I was reviewing records then, I would have also raved about it. Oh, yes, I also own Taja Sevelle's Toys of Vanity CD.

I don't recall Boom! on the radio at all either. It is the latest in a long line of bottom feeders so far which ascended to #1 on my personal chart. There was a follow-up single, "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry for Loverboy)", which must not have reached the Hot 100.<br><br>Two songs this week incorporate the word "bop", and I can't think of a time I've ever used it in conversation.

Two songs this week incorporate the word “bop”, and I can't think of a time I've ever used it in conversation. Maybe while playing Whack-a-Mole?

I never heard "Boom" live on the radio, but a friend of mine had a tape of a mix program from either 93Q or Energy 96.5 that featured it. So it did get some radio love in Houston, I just missed it.

FYI, I'm having trouble playing “Wood Beez” – it hangs a while, then times out. Not sure if anyone else is having this same problem, or if the web gremlins have specifically targeted me this time. :-)
