No twerking, no cursing, no autotune, no 100 backup dancers. Just pure, natural talent, charisma, and communication with the audience. It was all there for these wonderful ladies.

It's just the other side of the 70s and they're women, black, and black women. Wearing tight, skimpy dresses, and gyrating their hips slowly, is the twerking of the time. Acting like sexual stimulation isn't 90% of entertainment during that time is bs.
