Whatchoo know about Taco?!

You guys remember the original playa called Taco from the 80's? He had one hit with puttin on the ritz. My friend recently gave me a copy of his cd After Eight and that shit is bumpin. Some of his jams are smooth and funky. Anyone else know about this dude?

Is 'Puttin' on the Ritz' on After Eight? I think my grandmother has a copy, I'll have to check it out!

Other than that, I only know Taco for his tribute to Falco on the Simpsons.

yeah it's on after eight. how funny you should say that your grandmother has a copy of it because i was thinking of making a copy for my mother in law. i know she'd get a kick out of it! it's basically an electro/show tunes album.

i had the exact same thought.



Loved puttin on the ritz. The only other track i care for is the b-side, Livin in my Dream World. The rest of the album, i can't really listen to.

It's not as bad as it sounds. Grandma and her friends were still tap-dancing in the early eighties, and I remember they had a routine for this song.

But I know what you mean: I get more & more nostalgic, and then I realize that things I'm nostalgic about happened over 20 years ago...
