MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

February 25th, 1999.

This song didn’t sound like anything else on the radio.

Lauryn Hill

“Doo Wop (That Thing).”

(Music Cut #2)

It was the lead single from
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

And it debuted at No. 1
on the Billboard Hot 100 —

the first female solo debut single
ever to do that.

(Music Cut #3)

Lauryn was physically exhausted.

So she recorded many of her vocals
lying on the studio floor
or just stretched out on a couch.

Why?

She was pregnant
with her first son, Zion.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Don’t be a hard rock
when you really are a gem.” — Lauryn Hill
