Agreed!

TRON said:

You'd better submit a ballot in my poll!

I've been loving "Call Me Up". It feels like something from the 1980s.

Ah, yeah I know , we had that album in the house when I was like 5 it belonged to my older cousin who lived with us at the time, I use to stare at the album photo 'cause he was cute. The CD release was 2001 I can appreciate more now as an adult, but as a kid it was just a cute face & background noise, like EWF or Stevie. If you were gonna oops me, you should have mentioned Diana 1980, & Off the Wall 1979....re-mastered w/ outtakes in the 00's. All of them great, I know what I'm posting.
