I remember that song. It was #1 in the U.S. back in 1990. It was left off for the same reason why Madonna's "Cherish" wasn't included. | |

I just realized "Like A Prayer" (video) is included on the 4th disc so you got your wish. | |

And his duet with saffire (remember her?) on "dont give up on love" is cool. Its a nice beatboxy tune. Tommy page and Madonna were quite similar. I dont know why, but the fact they were both so pop has something to do with it. Poor tommy, he got dropped. | |

I didn't know Sa-Fire recorded a duet with Tommy Page. I do recall that after her first album she wanted to expand her range beyond freestyle and did a cover of "I Will Survive" that was very newjack. I liked newjack at the time, but I didn't want to hear it from Sa-Fire. | |

Anyway I heard they both formed a dance group (not them but got 2 other people together) in the early 90's? He used a fake name for the songwriting. I cannot remember the name, but it was freestyle or at least dance music anyway? | |

It still would have been really cool to include Specimen. Maybe they were too goth to be on the same collection as Tommy Page.  | |

They might sound good back to back. | |
