Monday Mixtape : Obama Old School Mix
It’s The Monday Mixtape!!!! 
This week I was inspired by Barack Obama. He always plays “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder at the end of his campaign speeches. At first it kinda baffled me because Obama is in his mid forties. Then I remembered that it was probably his “Old School” choice. Every generation will have their “Old School” and I shudder to think that this stuff playing now will be the “Old School” choices for my 9 year old daughters (cringe).
So this week I threw together a mix of what I thought would be some of Barack Obama’s “Old School” choices for him and Michelle. He may never listen to it…but I’m proud of it. Consider it my little token of love to the man who will be the first Black President of the United States!

Hmmmm, “old school”, eh? I remember when all of these songs came out and were the latest and greatest sound to hit the airwaves {smile}. AAMOF, I probably played just about all of these on my radio show back in college at one time or another. That being said, I love every song on this playlist. I expect to be rocking this one from start to finish for a long time, your Majesty!
