    The summer of 1983 I was 13 years old. I drove my whole house crazy with this song and Candy Girl. I can still hear my mother yelling “enough already with this fucking Juicy Fruit” 😂😂😂 Sweet Memories for real! Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️

    I went to see Mtume at Rocky City Nottingham with my sister, I was only 16. My sister managed to get us backstage, James wrote on my ticket, “stay sweet n Juicy”.. I still have the ticket today even though I’m now 53 years young..
    One of the greatest bands ever..

      My father is always saying this. I think this song came out when he was a freshman in college. This was his favorite song. Fast forward decades later when my father became a college professor and was and still is teaching at the Ohio State University he somehow got Mtume's phone number, called him and invited him to OSU. When Mtume arrived my father told him that Juicy Fruit was his all-time favorite song. Mtume responded, "stop lying young Brother." Don't know why he called my father young cause he was in his 40s at the time. Anyway, my father replied, "I'm serious, Juicy Fruit is my all-time favorite song." Mtume smiled a wide smile and got chocked up."

      If you like the lead vocalist, her name is "Tawatha" and she has really good solo album. My favorite song on her solo album is "thigh ride" its super sexy they wouldn't play it on the radio.
