- Me and y’all and Mary J.
I loved your show on Mary J. The conversation got my heart rate up and I was dancing and agreeing in my high school classroom, teaching virtually. I am grateful.
Missy and Mary collaborated on No More Drama with the song Never Been (I believe Missy produced the track) and Mary sang on Missy’s Cookbook album. I may be late, but I wanted to pass on my MJB knowledge.

Apple Podcasts5Lady Capricorn DesignsUnited States6 years ago - A must for music lovers!
Even before I was a guest on this podcast, I was deeply impressed with how it shed light on music that is often overlooked. Toya refuses to reduce an artist to a particular genre or era. She knowledgably guides the listener through an artist's often complex musical journey, and she does it in a way that always keeps things fun. Edu-tainment at its best!
