That was truly one of the best years for music... A plethora of older groups and music styles as well as the emergence of new exciting music styles and artists on the brink of a new era... biggrin

Little known fact: Dim All The Lights has the longest held note on a top 40 song in both the U.S and U.K. Not Whitney, not Patti and not one of those random R&B divas who think they're special because they had one hit lol

Ya see, that's why I like the Org--I learn new stuff all the time about some of my favorite artists from way back when, and many times from people younger than me. biggrin
