Man, I've been waitin' for that special to surface somewhere, I remember watching it when it aired!! I remember that Earth Wind and Fire were her special guests on that show, and she sang hits like "La Costa"! Yeah, I'm dying find that! EW&F performed a cool medley on that show,and this medley can be found as bonus tracks on the remastered 'Gratitude' CD...but I'm sure you already know this  | |

I'm pretty sure that the next two DVDs they send me will be 1979 and 1980.Prince's appearance might be on the 1980 one  | |

I've been seeing the infomercial on TV and would love to have several of those, especially the later years. I'm going to wait and see if they eventually make it to the stores because I hate ordering things. A lot of these "available only on TV" offers eventually make it to stores.
My birthday was a few weeks ago and I talked continuously about the infomercial to my co-workers, who usually make a big to-do over people's birthdays. I guess they didn't get the hint. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I'm familiar with that album but I've never heard it.It was supposedly her "disco" album. Yeah, it`s a weak album, but there are some good tracks, "Who will carry on", "Stand by" and especially "The winner", a strong DISCO song  | |

If so, is "The Winner" the song that was playing in the background at the party where she and her husband were snorting cocaine. That song was a jam and I've been looking for it but don't know the name of it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Harlepolis said: I haven't seen the Natalie biopic. Is it worthy ya'll?
Yeah, good acting, and an honest story. One thing i didn`t understand though is why Cole herself "interrupts" the story and explaining things, several times during the movie, so part of it is like an interview (without a reporter) | |

SoulAlive said: Several months ago,I subscribed to get these DVDs.Every six weeks,they send me two DVDs.So far I have 7 DVDs spanning the years 1973 to 1978.For those of you who don't know,The Midnight Special was a popular late-night show that featured the top artists of the day.No lip-syncing at all,they performed completely live.It was on the air from 1973 to 1981 and our very own Prince made an appearance in the early 80s.To order,go here... www.MidnightSpecial.com Anyone else getting these DVDs? There are some classic performances here! So when is the Midnight Special party at your house?
