**Svend** · November 16th, 2003, 09:01 PM

I've Got To Find A Way / Zena DeJonay
It's My Life / Talk Talk
Rock Your World / Weeks & Co.
Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy / Kid Creole
Just In Time / Raw Silk
Do It To the Music / Raw Silk
You Can't Run From My Love / Stephanie Mills
Baby I'm Scared Of You / Womack & Womack
Blind Vision / Blancmange
C'mon Stop / Black Gold

As you see, it's early 80s stuff recently purchased thanks to copies of the Billboard charts from Forum member Giovanni. Except for Kid Creole and the Womacks, it's all new to me. Although I went dancing a lot in the late 70s (underage clubs), I was in college in the 80s and didn't get out as much. I'm especially intoxicated with the Zena DeJonay track, someone so obscure that even allmusic.com doesn't have anything on her. ComKing: I love the KID and Herbie Mann tracks, and anything by the excellent Ms. Staton. Several unfamiliar titles in your list, but that's the wonderful thing--no matter how much disco I have, there's always more!
