## Caption

Before the charts, the sitcoms, and the platinum records—there was Wally and the Valentines. 🎤📺
This short-lived 1989 TV gem featured a cast you wouldn’t expect:
🎶 A future En Vogue member,
🎤 A teen Tevin Campbell,
🎹 The legendary Siedah Garrett (who wrote for Michael Jackson),
✨ And a young Tatyana Ali, years before she’d steal scenes on The Fresh Prince.
It may have only lasted a few episodes, but it’s a fun glimpse into the early careers of some serious talent.
Forgotten? Maybe.
Iconic in hindsight? Absolutely. Thank you @vintageaaeverything !!!!
