only the ones on drugs

Nah, I knew lots of peeps who wore this shit in '88 and didn't do drugs. Some actually thought it was cool!

Fuck it, it WAS cool. I ain't whistlin, nor am I in a box either.

No crack involved either.

I love your collections. So cool that you got to work with Boy George. I always loved Mistake Number Three. He was really beautiful in his videos, and so was his voice. His makeup was flawless! There were girls who copied his style, and came to school dressed like him with long braids and ribbons. Good times.

Yeah, for the first time in my life I miss the 80s in more ways than one--and it ain't got nothin to do with age, nostalgia, or a pompous attitude--it's the times we live in. Period.

Its too bad that Boy george is still not allowed back in the USA. Especially now with their 30th Anniversary Album and Tour this year. Oh well. Maybe he'll get it situated soon but I am surely lookin forward to the new Culture Club album

Most fo your music is guilty pleasures rather than tacky I think. I have looked at both threads and only decided Tevin is forgettable, the Wham and Thompsons stuff is the shit. I loved Milli Vanilli back in the day. Their stuff was hard to get, All I rmember getting was a CD of Girl you know its true (Album) a tape of the remix album which got chewed, a vinyl single of Blame it on the rain, which warped after a while.

I miss the days, do you have Boyz ii Men stuff as well? Now that would be cool or any fresh prince ( i have the DVDs of seasons 1 to 4). Loved the Soul 4 Real and Technotronic stuff (That Pump up the jam song was the shit). Also wonder if you have any Snap! or C and C music factory. They used eye catching art on their singles as well, and De La Soul of course.

yeah, she did black box stuff uncredited, but it was lolleatta holliway that's voice is on the original version of ride on time, which is a sample of "right on time" from the acapella bootleg of love sensation. dan hartman got most of the royalties for that track as they didn't get permission to sample

It is too bad. I would've definitely gone to see that.

it was just two braids and happened to be the 80's, but was told to sit still while getting my hair done, and boy george/karma chameleon was mentioned to get my attention cause of his braids and I liked Culture Club's music and it would work! And no one lets me forget it till this day!

Zelma Davis wasn't just a model, she actually sang on most of the songs on the album. She just didn't sing on Gonna Make You Sweat. Zelma's voice doesn't sound like Martha's. On the 2nd album, Martha & Zelma are in the video for the single. Technotronic & Black Box used models although Ya Kid K did appear in the later Technotronic videos.

This video by Zelma & Amber was released around 4 years ago. Zelma still performs now.

LOVE AMBER! I got a ton of her stuff too

Zelma was also one of the background singers in Michael Jackson's Will You Be There video. You can see her at the end of the video if you look carefully around when the angel is landing by Mike.

I knew about the c&c music factory dangerous singles mixes, but not this, thanks for the info No wonder I enjoyed the vocalist too in those songs for years

Good for you for having the guts to do it! Mine looked like Rihanna's current hairstyle. I tell the kids we did that back in the 80's Okay, I'm not going to corrupt the thread anymore. Back on the music, Boy George was a fave then.

I guess braids were popular, but I wore them so my hair was out of the way. Now that you mentioned that Rihanna hairstyle, I just remembered a style Cyndi Lauper had in one of the Time After Time scenes, in the restaurant where half her head was shaved, that's where Rihanna must have got it from!

But I feel old though I was really young in the 80's if people on this board can't believe people wore shirts like Bobby Brown, young and grown

yes, I know that, but most others don't, and they still used her image on the retail copies of singles that didn't feature her voice. i remember one single, and i had the dj promo 12" doublepack with a pic of martha wash on the cover, but the retail copies had zelma on the front, and she didn't even sign on it. obviously they thought it would sell more with a skinny model than the woman who sang on it. martha wash did a pile of house/garage stuff in the 90s, some classic tracks

The U.S wouldn't let him return after finding out that he kept a prostitute chained (in his basement I think) in his home
