Introducing

I was first introduced to Usher Raymond in the summer of 1993. My cousins and I were on our annual summer trip to St. Maarten (N.A.) where we spend two weeks in the beginning of August in a time share our grandmother's owned. This is before it was really popping like it is today.

We had a couple of cable channels we would be able to watch. This was usually in the morning/ before noon before we were able to get permission to go to the pool, where we spent the majority of our days. BET was one of the channels. Usher was instantly popular amongst my peer female cousins because he was the first pop singer we could identify with, as in, he is so cute, he is going to be so and so's boyfriend. This is not to say he was the first but we were actively witnessing the genesis of his career. It was exciting. Telling by our reactions to him, he is definitely accurate in dubbing himself, the Mack. Please enjoy fresh faced Usher and early 90's videos.
