And I was just talking about…
t-shirts with shoulder pads. Still waiting on their return.
That’s ’86, people. We thought it was the future, but now it’s the past.
Thanks to DJ Duke Todd, the music lives on!
Dick Hyman – Brazilian Impressions
Thanks to Brett for this RE MASTERED version of my favorite bossa-nova record ever. This record was at the absolute core of my lounge style at BEIGE and elsewhere where cocktails were being served. The piano is just so tinklly and right, and as for Dick, well, he’s one of the greatest. I just think this record screams “class” in a deafening whisper.
A Command Record.
How about that artwork?
The Medicine Song
Go on and take it. This song will only ever be “Susan’s Favorite.”
Good times. Further proof that the music in the ’80s was better, but take note: Stephanie’s voice is just as good today if not better . TOLD.
This video is one of my faves – now I remember why. Green screen leotards and Stephie in nurse drag? A little magic involving a ring and a handsome doctor? No wonder! Stephie made it through in style. Love me my Stephanie Mills. What a talent…I have pics from her show last night at B. B. King’s. I’ll be posting those tomorrow. I won’t be posting the heartburn from the BBQ platter. God Bless.
The Jacksons – Walk Right Now
No idea what the lyrics mean – but Michael sounds great and this production is GLOSSY. (three horn hits) Valentina played this one on Thursday night high up overlooking Manhattan from the closed in terrace of Company 3. It filled the floor. It’s a floor filler. When you just can’t listen to “Can You Feel It” one more time, throw this one on. It has all the same effects and did I mention?…(Three horn hits.) This would be a great track to teach a toddler how to count to three.
Written, produced, arranged and performed by The Jacksons, this track never made it past seventy-three but went to number seven in the UK in 1981 (when the music was better.) This is a special promo 12″ version. The album is TRIUMPH by

The 80’s Were Better DJ Mix
I don’t own this so I’m afraid to say what it is – but it’s genius. You should save it and enjoy.
SUMMER 80’s BEACH MUSIC.
Magic Touch by Loose Ends
OMG I love this song. Completely forgot about it.
Just a little tragic, Ooh I like your magic touch.
The music in the 80’s really was better. Admit it.
Is it just me or does this girl remind you of Cici?
Ooh I like your magic touch.
Imagine Dolly
what about this?
Another DJ Rasjr mix to love
Rasjr is one of my favorite finds on Soundcloud. His mixes are sophisticated, swishy, slick and technically perfect. Here is what he says about himself in his profile…
I’m a Hobby DJ. I am an airline pilot and I really like House Music. I have some sets published but totally unpretentious as to reach fame in any level.
Right? Airline Pilot/DJ. I like that.

GOT TO GET TO RIO!
Rasjr música me faz dançar! Eu amo suas seleções. Sem pretensão e ele não tem medo da perfeição.
Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger) – Dance remix
OK – I gotta stop now. It’s the ’70s classics and the Non-Stop Suites that are the most important to have. Everybody should have them. Donna Summer had many more hits after 1982 when this one came out. I think I better leave it up to each of you individually to find them and add them to your collections. Now let’s go back and listen to all of them again!
I’m Donna’d out. But it feels great.
9/11 dust! Why am I still alive? I was down near ground zero cooking hamburgers and hot dogs for the firemen! It’s a cruel world, but the Non-Stop Suites make things easier. They just keep playing and playing and playing….
Mystery Of Love
Mas Disco Triste! Que grande!
No mistaking the best of the best production provided by “Q.”
State Of Independence
Vangelis in the house of Summer. This one may cause emotional flashbacks to a happier time. Listen with caution and if you are using headphones, for God’s sake please have a few extra Kleenex stuffed into the cuff of your sleeve. This music is very powerful and should be played with consideration.
I Feel Love – Patrick Cowley Mix
One of the greatest important remixes of all time….this is history you can listen to.
In 1978, disco and Hi-NRG pioneer Patrick Cowley created a 15:45 remix of “I Feel Love” which, despite not impressing Moroder, became a popular “underground classic” available only on acetate discs. The remix used loops, keeping the song’s bass-line going for extended passages of overdubbed effects and synthesizer parts.
In mid-1980, Cowley’s mix was released with the title “I Feel Love / I Feel Megalove” and subtitle “The Patrick Cowley MegaMix”, but only on a limited vinyl pressing by the DJ-only subscription service Disconet.

This is a TV special from 1979. Looks like Hollywood Blvd to me…??
Walk Away – 12″ Version
Now I will start with a few of my favorite 12″ mixes. There are so many – but a few are what makes me weak. DISCO TRISTE we called it.
