It's pretty damn hard looking for black soul music in the 80s from the UK!! "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Add the group 52nd Street to that list. One of their videos right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpX4I6r-Ok "Say I'm lookin' at you, from the corner of my eye..." | |
