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."

Mtume means the messager in SWahili..Back then musicians chose African names on a regular. James was a true messager of God,on earth to entertain earthling with his music. May you Dance with the Angels up there🙏🏽🙏🏽

Look how they are moving to this music. They knew deep down they were waaaaay ahead of the game. Much Respect.

In 1983, at Fort Hood, Texas, as a supply specialist with the 27th Finance Company, I recall fond memories of Specialist Cartagena, Jose, Specialist Agosto, Jose, and many other good friends.

Remember listening to this in the stockade (1983) that was next to the commissary in Fort Hood. Open base back then. Good times in Killeen over the weekend landed me in the stockade.

[@selena8948]

Me too😊

[@mtafoya1005]

Lol idk why but that's one of my favorite parts too

[@Mandingo_Warrior]

I know it’s so unique

[@rachealsilburn901]

OMG!!!! MINE TOO!!!! I KID YOU NOT I was playing this song in the car this morning as I was taking my daughter to school and kept yelling my fav part is coming up. Now that I’m back home and actually watching the video and scrolling through the comments I see that I’m not the only one. That one part hits my soul!

[@jdbruiser]

Same here, it's the defining part of the song. I first heard this song in GTA Vice City and I always feel like liberally skidding in my Banshee, Infernus or Cheetah when that part comes on.

RIP James Mtume. I just felt like hearing Juicy Fruit. Just read about all the songs you produced and wrote. I like your dance moves too; sexy. So gifted and talented. Girl you sang that song too❤
