 Nobody sang like Eddie Kane Jr.

100MPH said: vainandy said: And the "trying to get a hit with mostly ballads" thing didn't start until Michael Cooper went solo, which is another person to add to the list of entertainers who fuck up when they go solo.
However, in the present day, I notice that Michael Cooper tours with Con-Funk-Shun and they perform plenty of funk. Hmmmmm.....I wonder why? Looks like he finally realizes that over time that the songs that most people want to hear are the ones when he was with the group. Doing what?....Funk!  It's not their middle-name 4 nuffin'
I kinda dig Mike Coop's 1rst album though ... "Love Is Such A Funny Game" is a solid midtempo-jam . CFS did some live-shows for radio in the 80's ... i tracked a playlist somewhere : From a show in 1986 : - Turn The Music Up - CFS Medley - Pretty Lady - Leaving - Ffun - Ms. Got The body - Love's Train - Electric Lady That is a jam!!!

I couldn't stand that song! whats wrong with "if only you knew" the best part of that song is coming on to the ned when she does that iiiifffff only you knew how much i care for you. that shit is magical School him Xavier!!!! If Only You knew is saanging! And live it's off the chain! And andy, Joy To Have Your Love is Miss Patti solo..... if you like that you'll also like Music is My Life. It's even funkier. Diana is much better on her own than with the SUpremes (Ain't No Mountain, The Nile Rodgers stuff (I'm coming out/upside down), the 80s stuff (Swept away, etc.). And to answer your original question..... 2 words: JOdy Watley!  |

Her 1st solo album is great from the 1st track to the last. Classic 80s. [Edited 9/30/06 0:22am] |

Hard one It's a kinda tie indeed I personally would say : Slave : 1977-1981 Steve Arrington's Hall Of Fame : 1982-1984 The releases after those years have initial moments . | |

Boy George (if he can ever stay sober) needs to stay in Culture Club.
The now-single again Bobby Brown needs New Edition more than ever. Bring back En Vogue! | |

If I was running Warners, I would re-issue that shit on CD for sure, because its only ever been on vinyl AFAIK. |

. . [Edited 9/28/06 13:42pm] And that's EXACTLY what piss me off the most! Ray Parker Jr. was a musical genius in his own right. But instead of modern pop culture remember this, the first thing that come to their mind is that damn Ghostbusters theme song. THAT freaking song ruined Ray's career. Quote me on this! | |

vainandy said: I like Bobby Brown and BBD's work better than New Edition's work once they got with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as producers. My favorite New Edition is the first album that Maurice Starr produced. The second one with "Cool It Now" was alright but I hated the album that was produced by Jam and Lewis. That was kind of the mellow side of Jam and Lewis (which I didn't like) like a lot of Alexander O'Neil's songs. If Jam and Lewis had given them a hardcore jam like "Innocent", I would have loved it.
. . [Edited 9/28/06 14:19pm] Speaking of the Maurice Starr, what do all of you think about his work with the New Kids On The Block?!? | |

The list of great artists who cashed in and sold out in the 80's is long and winding. I can think of fewer pictures that sum it up like this.  Apart from Grace Slick, those aren't the original members of Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship. Even today, Grace has acknowledge tha Starship was a mistake. | |
