![]() “Just a Friend 2002” was one of the irresistible pop hits clutched by every DJ as a reliable crowd pleaser amongst their playlist, in the era just before music became almost exclusively on demand for consumers.Īlmost completely re-envisioned from Biz’s tale of infidelity, Mario’s smooth tenor, reminiscent of Tevin Campbell’s years earlier, delivered the beckoning of a hopeless romantic, desperately trying to escape the dreaded friend zone, with a convincing plea from an awestruck young suitor. The veteran producer’s remake of Biz Markie’s 1989 classic “Just a Friend” propelled our native son into the top echelon of teenage heartthrobs, with a song that not only won the affection of high school girls across the country, but also became the guilty pleasure of woman old enough to remember partying to the original.
