    "comment": "One of the era’s most sampled tracks, later influencing hip-hop classics. The 1983 album by R&B group Mtume featured their No. 1 R&B hit, \"Juicy Fruit\". The classic song features lead vocals by Tawatha Agee. \n\n1983 video of \"Juicy Fruit\"!\nhttps://youtu.be/EYE5QEBOMA8\n\nJames Mtume  started his career as a jazz percussionist. He was in Miles Davis’s band for the first half of the 1970s, but in the late ’70s he pivoted to R&B: He co-wrote hits for Roberta Flack and Stephanie Mills, produced albums and formed a group, Mtume, which had major hits with his songs “Juicy Fruit” and “You, Me and He.”\n\nhttps://www.mtumemusic.com/",
