@ nferyn and pretty H,
,

to be truthful almost everyone loved MJ in those days.

@ ababoy, i'll get back to you shortly, thanks again
infact i'll pm you right away.

This thread has brought back fond memories of school dances, and the days when music was music!
MJ whatever he might be now,I still doff my hat to him when one of his oldies comes on...the guy is/was gifted...
(I heard on the radio yesterday he is jobhunting and has been offered a job as some sort of consultant for setting up theme parks and music academies whereever he is now-Middle East? All the best to him.)

Okay guys I just got in, and this turned out to be one of the most interesting placesI've been to in nairaland.
You guys made my evening especially @ababoy who happens to make everyone here excited. By the way where is Mike Okri now, he should roll out something, atleast Majek did after a long time too.

@AguMan I really enjoyed the 80's too but never enjoyed ABBA and the only reason was how do you dance to it
even when alone at home talkless of a party.

But guys I think you left out something and thats the Sooooouuuuuul Traaaaaiiiiinnn and the Don C. production.

peace and looooove!!!!!!!!!!!!

@babagana
You're so right how could we forget Soul Train

Its quite a place especially with coming in of Eletric Bugaloo.......you know this dance has still not been replaced by any as good as it becos even the dance steps of Break Dance was only created out it and it never did last.
Till date its been done by very recent artists around the world without knowing its origins and the best steps.

Pls can someone send me the lyrics of the Temtations "papa was a rolling stone", "Masterpiece" and "America"?

ask ababoy, he is the master here.

but you can might get it at lyrics.com.
try it.

awwwwwwwwww........I remember soul train with their different stages.I remember one song "house on the hill".I never seem to know their names cos I was a lil girl then....I am listening to Onyeka Onwenu's "choices".That song is a classic.

Is it possible for me to listen to this radio station for the 80's while browsing especially on naira land? pls can someone hook me up? Or tell me how to.

i don't think we need a room for thirty something here cos alot of us come here to learn and get advices and on some occasions we get replies from pple which we dont like so pls i think it should be a general thing so that wen we need some good advice u get it generally.

anyone remember "sexual healing" by Marvin Gaye?
@babagana,I was a little girl o.Besides,my folks had a collection of those oldies and still do,then when I was a kiddo,the TV station used to play Soul train..........

Thanks mate, had to wind it down , although it still exists on live365.com you have to be a paid member of the site to tune in now.

Enigma:

Kashif -  Lover come turn me on
Stacy Lattisaw - Spotlight
Howard Johnson - So Fine
Starpoint - Bring your sweet loving back, Wanting you,

Excellent choice

Not anymore as it only exists as a paid service, but visit www.live365.com there're still a few free ones (playing 80s soul) that you can listen to
