This is the first song I’ve written about that I liked the video as much as the song itself; those En Vogue ladies were seriously hot in 1992.
The other thing I remember about Free Your Mind was that it was featured on an album promoting the Olympics that year, called “Barcelona Gold.” It was probably most well known for Madonna’s This Used to Be My Playground, but it also had another great song by INXS, called Not Enough Time. And while I’m on the subject of the ’92 Barcelona games, I should mention that it is my favorite Olympics ever, for one reason and one reason only: The Dream Team. There will never be another.
I just learned from Wikipedia that in 1993 En Vogue performed Free Your Mind on an episode of “A Different World” (definitely worth watching), which is kind of a funny coincidence considering “The Cosby Show” theme I used last week.
