      As a 19 year old, I would honestly love to hear "Oh Sheila" at any of those places right now. From the 3 years that I've explored 80's culture, I've seen some good and some bad, but the good outweighed the bad for sure. It literally looked like Heaven on Earth; there was more effort put into making music and everyone could express themselves freely and wildly (although LGBTQ+ acceptance was a work in progress). I love this decade so much, I'm growing my hair out for a kinky-haired mullet! 😎

      Timecop1983
      FM-84
      Miami Nights 1984
      At 1980
      Electric Youth
      These are some good artists that can capture the 80s feeling to the heart.

    I want to dedicate this to my sister 💙Sheila Reneé McCureay💙 that passed away in '97 at the age of 36.. I come from a Southern Bluegrass and Country family.. My older brothers in the mid 70's were into Heavy Metal & Rock.. and my eldest sister Sheila was into R&B and Old School "Funk." Wasn't a Saturday go by without watching Soul Train in the '70's... watching her learn the newest dance moves on the show.. She was an Awesome Sister and dancer.. and enjoy watching Soul Train to this day.. I can still recite all of Rappers Delight, Fantastic Voyage, Double Dutch Bus etc.. that she taught me when I was young.

      Some people just hear a song that they like or don't like. When you hear one of these songs, you see and hear and have the scent of memories with your sister as a kid. No one can have those same memories and no one but you will remember her that way.
