Donna Summer Last Dance

If this song doesn't want to make you dance in the past, and if it doesn't want to make you dance now, I don't know what to say. I don't know about you, but I can't sit still. Donna Summer's "Last Dance" makes me want to dance forever.

Taylor Dayne _Can't Get Enough of Your Love

"Can't Get Enough of Your Love" is a hit song by Barry White. Taylor Dayne really got down on this remake. She did an awesome job!

Steely Dan_Peg

The words to this song was needed badly from the 70's when I heard it. When I try to find the lyrics on the Internet, it was not easy. I had to hum the song and make up words for the tune to my friends at work. Some of them said, "Hmmm! I know that tune, but I don't know the name of the song." I told them the meaning of the song seemed to be about a model or actress. I sung, "Hey, it will come back to you." Still, no one could remember the name of the song. So I typed into the Google search engine: "I've seen your picture, your name and lights above it.....Hey, it will come back to you." That's when I found out the title of the song was titled Peg.

Earth Wind and Fire_Shinning Star & Groove Tonight

It's funny, but I did not like Earth Wind and Fire's "Shinning Star" until I became an adult. They are really groovin'.

James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti - It's a Man's World

This was a very neat idea. It was neatly done. I enjoyed this video. James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti sound kind of good together. Two great legends.

Paul McCartney_Silly Love Songs

When I was a little girl, I would wake up in the mornings hearing the radio on in the dinning room. It was during the summer when my mother was already up doing housework, and I was still in bed. In my sleep, I would hear, "Silly Love Songs", playing in my dreams by Paul McCartney. When I would wake up and see the sunshine, the song would be playing on the radio. I always loved this song.

Stevie Wonder_I Ain't Gonna Stand For It

 I remember when my Aunt Niecy use to sing this song by Stevie Wonder. She could sing and act just like him. Aunt Niecy was always clowning. She was the best dancer and best singer that I had ever seen. Aunt Niecy was so entertaining. Those were the good old days.

Don't wanna believe what they're telling me
Somebody's been pickin in my cherry tree
Don't wanna mistrust nobody by mistake
But I hear tell someone's been diggin round in my cake

And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
nah-ah (nah-ah)
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah) nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah)

Don't wanna believe what somebody said
But somebody said somebody's shoes was under my bed
Don't wanna cause nobody no bodily harm
But somebody's been rubbin' on my good luck charm

And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
nah-ah (nah-ah)
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
And I ain't gonna stand for it baby
I ain't gonna stand for it baby
nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah) nah-ah (nah-ah nah-ah)

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my,

The Meaning of "Off The Wall"

There are millions of people that probably could relate to Michael Jackson’s song, “Off the Wall”. We all want to leave that 9 to 5 upon the shelf. However, it’s not 9 to 5 for many of us anymore. We spend our lives working, going home, paying bills, and buying groceries, but we never really enjoy life. When we get from behind the wall of the work world, we are like kindergarteners. We are bursting with energy to get away from it. Guys and girls turn up the music in their cars racing from the parking lot to go home. Michael Jackson told us in his lyrics, “Let the madness in the music get to you. Life ain’t so bad at all if you live it off the wall.”


Michael Jackson also said that living crazy is the only way. Well, I wouldn’t live crazy high on drugs and alcohol, but living crazy just having fun is the best kind of living and fun. Some get crazy at the night clubs on the dance floor, some get crazy playing card games, and some get crazy at cook outs in family time. What ever the fun may be, we need to do it in a good and right way. We need to live and be happy. It’s okay to act crazy but sane with it.

The Bee Gees

Posted by Ovation TV

When it comes to the Bee Gees, I don't know anyone who didn't love them. I considered them as soul singers when I was growing up in the 70's. When I was a little girl, I use to say to my mother, "Mama, that lead singer looks like Jesus."

Run DMC and Aerosmith

Posted by Ovation TV.

In 1986, Run DMC and Aerosmith joined together to make a hip hop record. Mixing hip hop and music that is rock was something very new to me. Because of the beat, I liked the song from the very beginning. It was Aerosmith's Walk This Way along with Run DMC. I got a kick out of watching the video on MTV.  Both groups were trying to practice their music, and Run DMC kept throwing in their turn table scratch sounds as the rock group played the guitar. I thought the whole thing was awesome. It was a song put together that made both hip hop lovers and rock lovers both listen.

Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music

For some reason, I loved hearing this song when I was growning up. I was shocked to learn that it was the Doobie Brothers.

Harry Belafonte_ Banana Boat

I love to hear Harry Belafonte sing the Banana Boat song. I remember him from the Muppet Show which was a show that was so funny. It made me laugh.

Michael Jackson_Off the Wall

Posted by jonus30

It would have been nice if Michael Jackson would have made a video of Off the Wall like he did Billie Jean. In Billie Jean, the sidewalk would light up under his shoes. With Off the Wall, he could have made a magic wall in the video with his reflection. Well, MJ left us with a live video of Off the Wall. I'm thankful that he left us with this video.

Kenny Loggins_This is it

 Posted by silasofa

There is just something about this song by Kenny Loggins. It has a catchy tune and chorus. Suddenly he sings, "This Is It!" Then he brings the exclamatory down to sing smooth and softer. I love the instrument sounds and the back up of Michael Mcdonnald.

Little Bit of the Lyrics:
There have been times in my life
I've been wondering why
Still somehow I believed
We'd always survive
Now I'm not so sure
You're waiting to hear
One good reason to try
But what more can I say
What's left to provide
You think that maybe it's over
Only if you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for your sign,
your miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
Don't be a fool anymore
This is it
The waiting is over

Brothers Johnson_Stomp

You may laugh at me, but I always thought that this song was made by the Jacksons. The guy that is singing lead sounds kind of like Jermaine Jackson. Back then, when this video was made, I had no idea that it was even made. I didn't know videos like this existed until there was MTV. This song was made about the year of 1981, and I'm thinking of 79. In 1981, I don't remember having cable TV. That's when MTV first started. I got cable TV in time enough to see Michael Jackson'"Billie Jean:."

The Lockers

I'm afraid that I don't remember "The Lockers". I don't remember dancing being this great in the 70's. The only one I know that danced like this was Rerun (Fred Berry) on the comedy, "What's Happening". He was a member of the Group, "The Lockers".

'Schlitz Malt Liquor' _Kool and the Gang_The Platters

Posted by Lottoman17

 I remember this commercial from 1981. I did not know who the Platters were back then, but I knew Kool and the Gang. It's neat how the Platters went back to the old style music which was tied together with Kool and the Gang's modern style. This is a commercial that I never forgot. Besides, who could forget that big old bull.

Selena_I'm Getting Use to You

Selena was a Mexican American singer born in 1971. That was the year that I was born. She liked singing songs of the 70's like "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Selena is an outstanding singer. Just when I was falling in love with her music in the 90's, she had to leave us. She was the Yvonne Elliman of the 90's for a short time. My favorite song by Selena is, "I'm Getting Use to you". She had a style of her own and she had a strong beautiful voice. Selena had the kind of musical style that could last for years and years. People are still playing her songs just like people are still playing the oldies.

Yvonne Elliman_If I Can't Have You

Posted by acuario60

I was crazy about this song growing up. I remember everybody singing it. My mother who was strictly religious who hardly sung the blues, my mother's younger sister, my father, and me. The song has music that makes you recoginize it right away. The music is powerful and real. I love the violins and drums. It's not like the fake music from rythm machines. It's not just a beat. Without the violins, this song is dead. The violins added something unique to the song. It raises the dead. In other words, it is a song that wakes you up and makes you want to dance.



Lyrics | Yvonne Elliman - If I Can’t Have You lyrics

Doobie Brothers_What a Fool Believes

Many times when I was riding in my mother and father's old 1978 or 79 blue Chevrolet Impala with no FM radio, I would listen to AM. There was white and soul music hits on one station. I loved hearing the Doobie Brothers. I sat in the back seat listening and did not understand hardly any of the words that Michael Mcdonnald was singing. Whatever he was singing, I loved hearing it.

It's great seeing these guys sing together. I loved listening to their music all of my life.

Barry White_You're The First-My Last

I remember my father playing Barry White on the old 8 track tapes. My mother didn't like Barry's music, so I don't remember much of it. I only remember talking and slow jam. I didn't like what my father played of him either. As I got older, that's when I began to hear some of Barry's greatest hits. "You're the First, My Last, My Everything" is a beautiful song. I love the violins and how they start the music off. When I first heard the song, I fell in love with it right away.
