A 20 Year Old Tape!!!!

[markydefad]

I've unearthed an actual tape I made in June, 1982 that I titled "Let's Groove". All this talk about 1982 led me to my vaults--so I took it with me to work. Not a lot of mysterious titles here....BUT some good ones!!!

Side A:

1) LET'S GROOVE - Earth, Wind & Fire
2) WATCH OUT - Brandi Wells
3) EVERYBODY KNOWS - Lipps Inc.
4) WHY YOU WANNA TRY ME - The Commodores
5) SOMETHING ABOUT YOU - Angela Bofill
6) TAKE IT TO THE TOP - Kool & The Gang
7) WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND - Brandi Wells
THE GENIE - Patti Austin
9) ARE YOU LOVIN' SOMEBODY - Debra Dejean
10) THE ONE/THE ONE AFTER - Lipps Inc.

Side B:

1) GET DOWN ON IT - Kool & The Gang
2) WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE DOING - Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder (Anyone remember this little slice of funk from McCartney's "Tug Of War" LP? I recall Gene Gordon (porn star Will Seagers from that Gage Bros. movie-L.A. Tool & Die) playing this one Saturday afternoon at his guest gig at Aloha Records)
3) MIRROR, MIRROR - Miss Ross
4) I'M GONNA GET YOUR LOVE - Amii Stewart (the Handshake era...er... year)
5) HOLD ME DOWN - Lipps Inc.
6) LET IT RIDE - Linda Clifford
7) KEEP ON TAKING ME HIGHER - The Commodores
I'M YOUR JEANIE - Jeanie Tracy
9) DO YOU LOVE ME - Patti Austin

Good memories from a great era in music. I read sfbeary's astute speculation on why music from this era still sounds so fresh--not a lot of overexposure. (I'm NOT talking about the tracks on this tape--mostly mainstream)--BUT mainstream radio didn't play the hell out of a lot of the R&B dance music from this time, so it still seems so special. Lotsa unearthed gems to still be found.

Hey Marky,

great selection! BTW, I remember WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE DOIN' very well - I was talking about this song to a friend just a few days ago. If I'm right, I think I write something about this song and Paul's album (TUG OF WAR, I just LOVE this album) here on the FORUM. WHAT'S THAT... received some airplay on our FMs when it was released, but only a few people remember the song. I always wnated to play this song on the parties by SENHORES DO GROOVE, and always forgot to spin it - I'm gettin' old, that's it.

Peace,

zeca azevedo, pushing and pulling...

Marky: 1982 is a favorite year of mine, it was my graduation year from highschool. I remember the Paul/Stevie song very well (had the album), also had "Mirror mirror" on tape and "Do you love me?" is one of my faves of that year. Of course I know the E,W&F and Kool &T.G. tracks.
1982 was also the year of Queen's long awaited album post-The Game... "Hot space"!!! :lol: Do you remember? There were some dance songs on that!
