Takes me back to my teenage years when we were slow dancing with our honeys to The Platters, Johnny Mathis, and Tommy Edwards...
Alex was the truth. Track #1 on his self titled debut album, released in 1985. In the video producers Jimmy Jam on the keyboards and Terry Lewis on the upright bass. Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.
Maze feat. Frankie Beverly "Joy and Pain". This was released in 1980. My favorite song from them.
I was put onto that song thanks to Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's hip hop interpolation in 1988

Classic 90's hip hop tune. Definitely got the club vibe which was so prevalent in the 2nd half of the decade
"Party Ain't a Party" Queen Pen feat. Mr. Cheeks, Markell Riley & Nutta Butta. Produced by Teddy Riley
The sample was Earth Wind & Fire's "On Your Face". Oh my.

This was the first Teena Marie song I can remember hearing. Little did I know at the time just how good her discography was and would be.
"Lovergirl"
As it turned out my very favorite song from her was near the end of her life. This was a duet with Faith Evans I believe released in 2009.
"Can't Last a Day"

"Can't Last a Day"
I was thinking about the 1990 Whit Stillman movie "Metropolitan" today, and remembered it was the first time I heard this song...
Those
songs and many other similar songs like the CHI lite Oh Girl, Have you seen her, and others were responsible for my meeting, dancing and love making in my early 20s, going to dance clubs in Toronto were the best years of my past.
