Today is the 20th Anniversary of Janet Jackson's monumental The Velvet Rope album and we're celebrating with the record's first single, Got Till It's Gone. I came across a interesting BuzzFeed article yesterday entitled, This Janet Jackson Album Made Beyoncé's Lemonade Possible. The piece speaks to the masterful work done by Janet on this set, both in its political statements and its musical content. From the funky horns of My Need and Go Deep to the sentimental, yet inspirational Together Again to the downright sexy Rope Burn and the tender remake of Rod Stewart's classic Tonight's the Night, this album still sounds as fresh as ever! Indeed, I found myself having already gone through the record twice since yesterday. Great stuff! So check out the article and this funky tune, masterfully reworking of Joni Mitchell's classic Big Yellow Taxi...
