Subject: 80's R&B, Freestyle, and other weird stuff...

Some favorite targets are:

speaking of 80's r&b & freestyle: If anybody have any 80's r&b, freestyle, or even adult-contemporary/westcoast pop, message me!
I have a lot of 80's videos in vhs, beta, & mpeg/avi format.
I'm looking for Glenn Frey's "The one you love", George Duke/Stanley Clarke's "Sweet baby", any from Gino Vanelli, and others.

Its great to see some Loose Ends fans out there they are one of those groups that deserved more attention.Too bad they were only played on R&B stations they had a sound that should have crossed over into the top 40.I own three of their tapes and have lots of their videos on tape. ;)

I have really been missing Orange Juice Jones and Maxwell lately. That was great music.
On the Freestyle side, Noel and Cynthia. That song, Silent Morning, by Noel, is still one of my favorite songs...
It's too bad freestyle didn't last longer than a few years. 8)
