Hi Paul!

The repair man has just left the building. He couldn't fix it rightaway... Some part has to be replaced. Somebody will be coming to replace it (whenever!). >:(

And you're of course spot-on on your answers! (Didn't know Johnnie Ray's version was a cover, however... So I had him listed as the artist)

I don't mind individual posts, as long as they're all correct (and they are)! ;)
You have a broad taste in music, knowing Milli Vanilli as well as Peter Gabriel, Prince and Barry Manilow...

Dated a guy who was a Milli Vanilli fan (ugh).  Became a Gabriel fan in college.  First concert I ever went to was Barry Manilow.  And who doesn't like Prince!?

Hello Henk,another good one

I'll try:
#8...She's My Kind Of Rain...Tim McGraw?
#40...I Need The Rain...Heart?
#43...Funeral In The Rain...Chris Isaak?
#45...Naked In The Rain...Red Hot Chili Peppers?

I will only guess at four because if these are right I'll
need another guess to keep my streak going.
