*Episode 2 of the RadioScope Raw podcast features our 1989 interview with Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam.

The band was assembled and produced by Full Force, with Alex “Spanador” Moseley on guitar and bass, Mike Hughes on drums and keyboards, and Lisa Valez on lead vocals.

After scoring major hits singles from their 1985 debut album “Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force” and its singles “I Wonder If I Take You Home,” “Can You Feel the Beat” and the summer of 85’s go-to slow jam “All Cried Out,” their second album, “Spanish Fly,” kept the momentum going in 1987, with its two gold singles “Head to Toe” and “Lost in Emotion.”

We sat down with the New York trio about a week before the May 25, 1989 release of their third album “Straight to the Sky.”

Velez opened up about her vocal ability being questioned, and the group was asked about the emergence of Teddy Riley’s New Jack Swing sound, the extent of Full Force’s influence on their production, and the story behind some of the album’s tracks – including lead single “Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star.”
