Just really good music from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and maybe even a few songs from the 1960s and early 2000s. This is the music that made me feel good when I listened to the radio mostly during those three decades, and hopefully those who listen to these songs will feel the same way.
I have a preference for single and edited remix versions, so most of the videos I upload will be those radio-friendly versions.

Madonna - Into The Groove
This awesome classic is my second best Madonna song ever, and I remember the mad rush to get this record when it first came out in 1985--the track was released as a single worldwide except in the USA, where Warner Bros dumped it on the B-side of the 12" version of "Angel." Information was scarce at the time, and despite the song being played everywhere on radio and MTV, I just could not find it on sale since I had no idea it was only available on a 12" record. A side trip to New York City on my way to my parents' home made me visit Tower Records, and there I found and bought the "Angel/Into The Groove" 12" at last! "Into The Groove" went to #1 on Billboard's Dance chart, and became a #1 hit on the UK Pop charts. While there have been many remixes of this song appearing on various Madonna compilations, this original version is still the best version for me.

Larry John McNally - Just Like Paradise

This awesome track from singer-songwriter and musician Rickie Lee Jones' 1979 debut album is one of my favorites from her it's a very cool, jazzy number like a slow jam perfect for chilling out.

Pizzicato Five - Triste (Single Version)
Переглядів 8421 день тому
One of my favorite songs from the Japanese pop band Pizzicato Five is this awesome track that was released as a single in 1995. The title "Triste" means "sad", and yet it sounds anything but sad building on interpolated riffs from "I Fell" by The Four Kings Cousins and "If You Really Love Me" by Stevie Wonder, the song goes its own way, turning into a bright, brassy, happy tune despite the sad ...
Mac McAnally - Minimum Love
Переглядів 6721 день тому
This was one of my favorite songs of 1983, and it's by singer-songwriter, musician and producer Mac McAnally, who many mistook for James Taylor when they first heard the song; as for me, I thought it was Dan Seals at first. "Minimum Love" went to #41 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and also became a Top Ten hit on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at #7. I really liked the arrangements done h...
Bud and Travis - Truly Do

I first noticed this lovely song playing in the background on several episodes of the CBS TV series, "Northern Exposure" in 1990, but it took several years later for me to finally learn the full title and artist of the song, and it was Bud Dashiell and Travis Edmonson, the folk music duo known as Bud & Travis. "Truly Do" was the B-side of "Bonsoir Dame," one of their singles released in 1959, w...

This is my favorite New Order song, and this version that I've posted is not an official edit; rather, it's my own personal edit that I edited from the awesome Shep Pettibone 12" remix that was also called "The Morning Sun Remix" in the USA. "True Faith" went to #4 on the UK Pop chart in 1987, and was also a hit in the USA, going to #32 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and to #3 on the Dance charts...

⭐⭐⭐ Thank You AP, JaneLee 🕊️ 8/25/24
What a fantastic show great cast
Morcheeba cooked us a literal 5 star menu back then😍😍
It's nice how the elements of three different popular songs are blended into one beautiful masterpiece.
This brings me back to a place & simper time
😊 wkrp and welcome back cotter songs 🎵 bring a smile evertime
Ever heard of, “Zungguzungguzungguzeng” by Yellowman? (1982): Despite never charting, this song is considered by many to be a reggae classic.
Ever heard of, “Cinderella Sunshine” by Paul Revere & the Raiders and, “Mama Lied” by Phil Gentili?
I don't know that song by Paul Revere & the Raiders; "Mama Lied" is one of those Lost 45s that I thought deserved to become a bigger hit, I remember only hearing this on radio a few times but those brassy arrangements were really great.
I had no idea he had such a lovely singing voice! <3
Great song
Forgotten how good😁 this was
see this the version I've been looking for! This was my favorite version
It Sounds Like "Kraftwerk", But The Album ("Man Machine") With "The Model" Was Released Five Month Before "Midnight Express" With "The Chase".
Still here in 2024
Love this. Had it on 45 vinyl single
Ever heard of, “Hot Hot Hot!” by The Cure? And, “Five O Clock World” by The Vogues?
"Five O'Clock World" was great, but the first time I heard it I thought they were a different group. "Hot Hot Hot" was just ok, not really one of my favorite songs by The Cure.
Great 👍
Great song. Had it on 45 vinyl single at the time.
Ever heard of, “Let’s Turkey Trot” by Little Eva? And, “Lullaby of Love” by The Poppies?
I only know Little Eva's #1 hit, "The Loco-Motion" -- I don't know her other songs. As for "Lullaby of Love", there are some classical music pieces that aren't suited for the pop treatment, and this is one of them, LOL
If this doesn't say "making love", then I guess I don't know my music too well!
great tune of a great album
Great pop
Ever heard of the oddball 1967 world music inspired novelty song, “Zabadak!” by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich? LOL.
I've never heard of it
Like N° 67 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Vale Jerry Orbach.
Ever heard of, “Rice is Nice” by The Lemon Pipers? (1968)
Never heard of the song, although I've heard of the group.
Classic ❤❤❤🎉
Co written by THE Jerry Wexler?? Ok. Very James Taylor ish arrangement 😊 The lyrics are ummm interesting.
Desde chamo me gusta la canción. Saludos de Venezuela 🇻🇪 Maracay -palo negro-estado Aragua 🙏
R.I.P. Phil Harris
Ever heard of, “Melody For An Unknown Girl” by The Unknowns, “Marble Breaks and Iron Bends” by Drafi, and, “Peter Rabbit” by Dee Jay and the Runaways? All 3 are from 1966.
Not familiar with that song by Drafi, but I've heard of the other two, both good songs, with "Melody For An Unknown Girl" having some really lovely string arrangements
2024 anybody?👍
Ever heard of, “Sit Down, I Think I Love You” by The Mojo Men and, “Echo Park” by Keith Barbour?
Not familiar with those songs
Thank you Will Ferrell and the cast of Anchorman for making us love this song even more.. i love the tight harmonies of Starland Vocal Band on this naughty lil song lol
less cheesier than the version we got on the Immaculate Collection
Love this funky track from way back! 🙂
Just walked around devils tower blasting this lol
Ever heard of, “Neon Rainbow” by The Box Tops? And, “Let It All Hang Out” by The Hombres? And finally, “There’s Got To Be A Word!” by The Innocence? All 3 are from 1967.
All good songs, and perfectly capture the mood of the late 1960s
She was really talented, not sure why she didnt have continued success.
From Wikipedia: Dennis pivoted to songwriting in the 2000s and became renowned for her work, scoring eight UK number ones, winning six Ivor Novello Awards and two Grammys.[3] Her co-credits include the multi-platinum singles "Can't Get You Out of My Head" by Kylie Minogue, "Toxic" by Britney Spears, and "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. In 2004, Dennis was listed 66th in the Q list of the 100 most influential people in music. In 2006, she won the UK music industry's Woman of the Year Award.
❤❤❤👏🌎🇦🇷
Ever heard of, “Beach Party” by King Curtis and, “Denise” by Randy and the Rainbows? And the big band styled novelty record, “Loving You Has Made Me Bananas” by Guy Marks?
not familiar with "Beach Party"; the first time I heard "Denise" it reminded me of "Sherry". As for "Loving You Has Made Me Bananas", it was great--love that big band-styled sound
The background score is really killing
Saw her at the Paramount Theater in Downtown Denver years ago then go at Taste of Fort Collins. One of my favorite singers!❤
This was the jam in high school 1978!! Shout out to Hillside High!!
Narinig koto sa radio ng kapitbahay namin sabi ko familiar parang narinig kona dati or yung kanta talag is attractive 2023 nun hanggang ngayon gusto ko parin to
Wonderful, reminds me of my second Wife when we were in love! ❤
