Kool and the gang was one of my favourite groups from the 80s as well , James 'JT' Taylor was the best , loved Stand up and sing, Jones vs Jones, Get down on it, Straight ahead, Love festival and Ladies night

@ababoy1
the Fresh album (Emergency) was really for the 'pop' market, i wasn't a big fan of Cherish...

talking about great groups from the 80s, Anyone into New Edition (Ronnie Bobby Ricky and Mike and of course Ralph and Johnny)

anyone remember "last night I dreamt of San Pedro"?

That one is "La Isla Bonita.." by Maddonna..

Thats my jam along with "Rush, Rush" by Paula Abdul.

Hey i will like to know if any of you know something about Shirley Bassey (that half Nigerian), i have only been able to hear her[b] "Diamonds are forever"[/b] as a remix on Kanye West albums.

@joftech: Dude I don't think we'd know much or infact anything about Shirley Bassey...she is most definitely our parents generation. Her kind of music too...

guys anybody that knows about Shirley should help him out though...

Okay. Lets go!
Lionel Richie

Ijebuman - Sure New Edition. How can one forget "Cool it now" or "My Secret"

One guy I liked in the 80s was Carl Carlton. One of his tracks "Swing That Sexy Thing" remains one of my all time best, if not the best.

All night long by ;Lionel Richie

we've got tonight kenny rogers and sheena easton and all night long lionel richie

She's a bad mama jama
This no doubt will remain one of the greatest albums of the 80's
Bless you man, I feel so strongly for this album and a few others like Willie Hucth, and Nile Rogers.
They will remain special to me.

She's a bad mama jama
This no doubt will remain one of the greatest albums of the 80's

Yes ooooooo!!

how about this song by Kenny Rogers"write my name across your heart"

write your name
across my heart
I want the world to know that I am yours forever
and I will wear it
like a shining star
write your name
across my heart

Then I like Sign Your Name by Terence Trent D'Arby better:

Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is so much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
Than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love

Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Who remembers the SOS BAND -They had hits like Just Be Good to Me, Take Your Time (Do It Right), No ones gonna love you (My fav), Weekend Girl, Just the way you like it & The Finest

hmmm...
am nostalgic when i hear these songs.They remind me of back when I was a child,before life took away the innocence...

oh dear this just brings back the memories

SOS band - The finest, Even when you sleep, high hopes, Tell me (if you still care)
Terence Trent D'Arby (the guy with the long legs ) - If you let me stay

I'm just thinking of Terence Trent D'Arby's next to last song on his first album: As Yet Untitled (A-Cappella), it allways chills me to the bone to hear:

Out by a shanty where the dust hangs high
Far from a river where things grow green
The flowers weep and they lean away
From the blood stained soil beneath my feet

The thorns outnumber the petals on the rose
And the darkness amplifies the sound of printers' ink
On propaganda page
That will rule your life and fuel my rage

I tried to bend my knees
But my knees were already bent
I haven't stood like a man for such a long time now
I called to my god but he was sleeping on that day
I guess I'll just have to depend on me

Shall I tell my children if they ask of me
Did I surrender forth my right to be?
Y'see my daddy died to leave this haunting ground
And this same ground still haunts me

The cool September blows the seeds away
The harvest blown again this year
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home

I said:
But I'll return a stronger man
I'll return to me my homeland
No grave shall hold my body down
This land is still my home
This land is still my home

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world

forgot to mention 'Let's Go Forward'
'introducing the hardline according to..' was definitely an exceptional album, unfortunately i can't say the same about the second album 'Neither Fish nor Flesh' although it did have one good song 'To Know Someone Deeply '

Didn't really like his second album either. Third one was good as well, although not up to the same level as Introducing? I especially liked Let Her Down Easy

hey folks we have some under age in hre ohh. Make una try flush them out then we can have a real swell time with guys our age mates.

@nferyn

Need a friend!

Welcome to NL my guy! We are all family here so just join in the discussion if you have something to contribute

some real old folks on this post eh? It's good to know that i'm not the only one that's growing old! anybody remember abrams colonel?
Oh oh i'm trapped, like a fool i'm in a cage i can't get out, you see i'm trapped,
or Imaginations 'illusion'.
Then there was the commodores, and don't even get me started on Kool & the gang.
And Hot chocolate! 'papa was a rolling stone'
okay, i think that's enough nostalgia for one afternoon, back to work
Just to know, can anyone tell me if there's a place that still sells turntables and LPs in Nigeria?

Dont know if there are places in Nigeria where you can get LP's and TT's, but LP's are big business here especially Old school Funk and Soul,

DJ's are always on your tail,

@Ijebuman/Bagoma, and the other old school fans, Where una?

@ababoy1

I sent you an e-mail to your personal e-mail address asking you to send the list of songs again because before I could review the list thoroughly and tell you which songs I wanted, the pms were disabled.
