Yo. You forgot Phyllis Hyman, yo!
Great list, but what about “the Good Girls” for my 80’s heads: http://www.amazon.com/Just-Call-Me-Good-Girls/dp/B00000DWTU/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1215638774&sr=8-2
Oh and I second dude that said Denise Nicholas but she’s not dead she’s still alive
Nigga is u crazy!! Cree Summer was finer than Lisa Bonet!!
lol
Keep up the good work, but you forgot about Karyn Parsons and old school Jasmine Guy (Different World Jasmine)!
Lisa Bonet wins Top 10 Lite Brites…on a show called Gordon Gartrell Radio…DENISE!
The brother earlier (Saleem, I believe it was) is right…Vanessa Williams definitely deserves a spot (She’s also an example of lite brite love gone wrong — Ramon Hervey and Rick Fox). She deserves more love than old girl from Detroit.
On a side note, are Kwame Kilpatrick and Chris Webber the same brother?
Great podcast overall!
I just wanted to give you props on your podcast. it’s funny as hell and the music is dope.
Keep doing your thing, and I hope you continue this podcast for a long time
Where the hell was Stacy Dash?????? Y’all lucky this show funny din a mug…or I might be mad…we gonna need some mo’ unerable minchen…o and i got a prequest fo next show…50’s such a tuff guy…but y he ALWAYS recording stuff…he’s such a woman.
Um…Beyonce is not lite brite LOL
Man this latest podcast was sick the 50 skit was tv worthy I never laughed so hard..
LMAO!
Phonte u a damn fool! LMAO!
Loved how u did the phone calls…with the random “GORDON GARTRELL RADIO.COM!!!!!”
But I’m definitely feeling the podcast and I got mad respect for you muh dude real talk…
DJ Brainchild puttin it down on tha 1’s and 2’s as well…sh*t I don’t think there’s a song that I don’t like that was played so far…
But on the real…PLEEASE keep this muthaf*ckin podcast GOING!!!
Top 10 Lite Brites???
I’m laughing and shaking my head at the same time. This is a joke, right? Right? I hope. “Something so special about the lite brites” …wow …that’s hilarious and tragic at the same time.
Anyway, I’m iffy on the list, man. That Christine Beatty bitch is ugly as fuck. I’m sorry! Jennifer Beals? What’s so special about her? Beyonce and Halle Berry …not that lite and brite, to me, but then again the term “light skinned” is subjective.
I mean, this is lite and brite?:

and
http://www.missxpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/halle_blog_5.jpg
Hmm …
I agree tho Halle is an icon of Hollywood beauty but she is MADDD overrated. Ditto with Tina and Matthew’s little girl. But many black women worship at their feet.
Irene Cara is still black. She’s Afro-Puerto Rican/Afro-Cuban. Most blacks in the Diaspora live in Latin America, you ain’t know that? But yeah, she’s not really “light”.
Eric Benet and Lenny Kravitz are light skinned? Really?
Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Lonette McKee …defintely. Iconic, no matter the complexion.
Lisa Bonet deserved #1!!!
So, yeah, the list is both sad and funny as hell. But it was still entertainment! You gotta follow it up with a “Brown Sugar Top 10″ and “Dark-n-Lovely Top 10″ though!
-J.
for the litebrite list:
lonette mckee is good business, but she ain’t SEEIN’ the late denise nicholas.
nuh-uh.
no way.
denise nicholas was lite brite WIT the green eyes AND the body.
Lovin’ the podcast Tay. I like J. Beals, but she was too far up on the list, i mean above “The Horne”. I would have thrown Nicole Ari Parker on my list. Holla at me, one.
A yo Phonte dude you are crazy WOW i truly enjoy podcast show Great job on the music and thanks for not talkin to much, but when speak you do speak about somthing. Hey man on that lite bright list dude you could left off Beyonce and replaced her with Mya or Alicia Keys. Preferrably Alicia have you seen her lately Got DAMN -Whewww!!!
The “Superstition” remix was a hell of a find.
But I have to agree to some of the others … Why no Jasmine “Try Me” Guy?
pithy…lol.
You are a fool Tay.
The continuous GordonGartrellRadio.com drops over the phone calls were golden, Tay.
I came here to say Tamia…
4 Words Fam
STRANGER.
IN.
MY.
HOUSE.
Yessur…
Nigga!!! Lisa Bonet was #1??!! LMAO!!!
How did you overlook VANESSA L. WILLIAMS!!!?? LMAO!!!
Vanessa Williams didn’t even make your honorable mention, joe!!!??
ARRRRRRGH!!! LMAO!!!
@Eric C. we can’t forget Rachel of BET Video fame.
and good lookin’ out DJBrainchild + Phonte on the drop…keep bringing the heat every week!
damn i forgot about tamia???
i nominate myself for the chocolate complexion committee!
seriously dude…a lightbrite list without jasmine guy…and you mentioned lisa bonet…brosef,i demand to know the identities of those on your panel…no jasmine guy…tisk tisk
love the show.
Another up and comer who will soon merit serious consideration:
http://www.esperanzaspalding.com/
Lawd.
And to shorty du wop and all my more melinated sistren, exploring one flavor does not in the slightest mean a distaste for other flavors. That would be like making a list of your favorite hip-hop records to signify that you’ve got no love for R&B.
Not gon’ happen.
It’s only 4 episodes deep and I’m lovin the show, bruhs. But how can you give tribute to the LiteBrites without including Vanessa Williams?! She was Ms. America! Honorable mentions include Salt from Salt-N-Pepa, Thandie Newton, and Sherry Carter. Don’t act like u 4got about Video Soul!
By the way, I damn near don’t even wanna listen to this podcast anymore as Sade was not included in this Top 10. That’s just criminal, blasphemous and inexcusable. Karma is gonna come bite that Gartrellian ASS, my dude.
*spoiler alert* y’all are biased! she made the shirt that made your logo so fly! top 10 mocha browns soon? not that i support the itemization and categorization of women based on physical appearances…but can us brownskinndidid females get some ‘preciation?
Rhome, I SEE YOU. If Barack gets in office, official party in NYC w/ live performances by Al. B Sure, Christopher Williams and Tony Terry.
[...] here. Tags: brainchild, gartrell, GGR, gordon, phonte, [...]
I meant to also submit these to the Lite Brite Committee:
Alison Stewart
Tawny Cypress
Tracie Thoms
Monique Bingham
Nicky Guiland
They don’t currently rank, but they should be monitored for future recognition.
I know of which I speak, I’m an LSB myself. Dee Phunk are you wit’ me?!?
Love the show…dig the inclusion of one my favorite Royce da 5′9″ joints. He’s sounding really hungry right now. Can’t wait for that Bar Exam 2…keep em coming.
Man, I ain’t heard fools paradise since the …. paid in full movie, soundtrack! Hot DAMN! Yo good lookin’ out Tay and Brainchild.
How you gonna leave Alicia Keys out of the top 10!? That’s blasphemy. At least you gave Lisa Bonet the #1 spot.
I’ve been on an Azymuth cloud lately. Anyone who’s been mesmerized by these cats will know what I mean. Good look on including them in the playlist.
Oh, and Phonte, I’m in love with your sense of humor.
funny too much!!!!!!!!!
This podcast is dope. You a fool Tay. When ya’ll gon mak the podcast available for your fans with Zunes?
Please hit your mailbox on every episode…..I want to know whats on peoples mind…Dont front..
Good show.
Another one for the books Mr. Cents…LOL!!!
OMG… stop speaking in reggaeton… OMG! Make it stop! LOLOL!!!!!! My face hurts from laughing!
LOL!! You a fool for that Young Buck/50 shit…
Lynette McKee was Jim Brown’s wife in “She Hate Me.” She was Denzel’s wife in “He Got Game.” Both Spike Lee joints.

“Mr. Cent” HAHAHAHA, too much going on with you Tig. Oh, and damn! All these years I thought Fool’s Paradise was Chaka. So not hip, am I. Love the show.
Maybe thats why they call it “Monster Balls”!!
I’m listening now and I already plan to not drink anything for fear that I may spit out some water from laughing!!!
I’ll say it again, this is the business!!!
This show is HILARIOUS & Brainchild be finding those GEMS!
I’m not sure what the specs were for the Litebrite list, but I thought Aaliyah might’ve made it on there even though she passed away in ‘01. Dah well.
Looking forward to next Monday.
You are Stupid!! I fell out of my chair at work LMAO. Peace Al.
this shit is going to get me fired.
LOL! Christine Beatty. LOL! You are sooo not right
And, Lisa Raye… you did that for Detroit Defender 
I’m loving Gordon Gartrell. Keep em comin.
