...Irresistible: "I need to make you happy/You just so black and nappy/Come here, and make it snappy." For the sequel to that excursion, skip forward to "Gitty Up," in which the requisite beefy baritone promises to make our girls "sweat till you drench your blouse and your skirt."

...husband David, designed the wedding gown. "It wasn't until she was walking up our narrow, winding stairs that I realized who it was. Then I was really, really nervous.
