Here a video of a great 'slow jam' classic from the mid-1980's. It's by Journey's front man Steve Perry in a solo act and his classic 'foolish heart.'

2)"Fly Away' Lenny Kravitz

25 years ago this month (sept. 1986)this was one of the year's most popular movies. A classic IMO starring Billy Crystal a then 'young' Jimmy Smitsand the late Greg Haines called "Running Scared." If you never seen it worth checking it out. IMO an underrated hit comedy from the '80's.

99 Luft Ballons by Nena. Man this German was a cute babe lol. Had a crush on her back in the day. A regular on MTV rotation in their early days circa 1984-'85.

Here the German version of a classic video.

Frank Valli "Can't take my eyes off You."

This one is in memory of Nick Ashford. I am sure old school POP/R&B fans of the 1970's and '80's such as Andrew aka R68, NYCTransitfan, Trainmaster and Joe, remember this husband/wife duo with Valerie Simpson.

They are best known for writing smash hits for Diana Ross and other pop/R&B stars of that era. Not to mention they also thier biggest hit single with this hit from 1984 "Solid". Not to mention in the late '90's they hosted the Morning show on NYC's Kiss-FM as well. As well as a cameo in the 1991 smash hit film "New Jack City."

RIP to another R&B songwriting legend Mr. Ashford.:cry:

Another dance/Hip-Hop classic. Heard this at parties college games and sportsbars especially in the late '80's/early '90's. The 'theme' to summer of 1988 for most hs/young college kids in America.:eek:

MCCJ maybe you also like this old school classic as well.

Another song that my ex-girlfriend and I used to love. Little bittersweet is this month in August 2011 was we started our long term relationship.

Great song to play at BBQ's/Parties and Clubs. Hard to believe it's 10 years ago this summer was a #1 smash hit.:cool:

"Family Affair" Mary J. Blige the so called "Queen of Hip Hop Soul"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcA_jNYeWCs

Drake is a lucky dude. His "PG" Hip Hop is what makes him popular. Of course being discovered on the international hit teen tv series "Degrassi" did not hurt either lol.:eek:

Match the Tempts " Ball of Confusion" with Marvin's "What's Going On ?" album while you watch the news from the US, London and the world's other hotspots in 2011. Damn, sometimes it seems like nothing ever changes for the better. " And the band played on".

Pardon me guys as i know just a month or two (aka recently)someone else posted it. However since there no rules lol about not posting it again here is Sir (Trainmaster). Enjoy

Sadly don't forget there enough 'famine' in Africa again that been igorned mostly by our US media. Man this song sounds like a repeat in 2011 as it did in 1971.:cry: And I was born a year later in 1972.
