You guys need to keep posting music from back then. I make a lot of people my age mad when I make fun of the type of stuff they listen to. Almost none of it really compares with what was done in the 1960s to 1980s. Same with movies but that's another story.
A couple of years back I picked up an old magazine in the barber shop and read an article about celebrities' top ten romantic songs. Most of them I'd heard of but one song I'd never heard of turned up about five times. "Do Me Baby" by Prince on the Controversy album. That was a BINGO moment because I knew exactly where a casette of the Controversy album was! It was at my place stuck in box of old music from my parents. I'd played that tape hundreds of times when we partied but just for one hilarious song called "Jack U Off" which always turned out to be fun when my room mate is drunk and ready to show off for women.
So after my haircut I went right home, found the tape and cranked up the antique casette player to hear 'Do Me Baby.' I was knocked off my feet. When it was done I went to rewind the tape..... and ..... take a guess what happened. The casette player ate it.
I can't find "Do Me Baby" by Prince anywhere --- or "Jack U Off" by anyone but some cheesy girl with a piano instead of Prince's full band which really made the song.
If any of you guys can point me to an online source for them I'd appreciate it.
And feel free to let me know about any other old music that you think is great.
Here's a song my old friend Nummy introduced me to. he said it was the first song about a person ever to get radio air time back in the 70s. I don't know of anything ever being done this good since.
A lot of it was me and LSD at the time...but I was completely convinced that Janis Joplin was my soul mate and I could feel her...saying I loved her doesn't cut it...It was better than that.....she tore through my soul to the core of my being....
Janis Joplin ...(1943-1970)
My favorites...
It's funny..one of my lifelong best friends..she was born the same day and year as Janis..a Capricorn...and her personality and vibe is so similar to her..
Sylvester...one of the first famous ones in San Francisco to openly state he had AIDS.....
I met him of course...I was devastated when he died...he broke a lot of rules back then and I loved him for it. He was part of Sylvester and the Hot band before he went solo and had the Weather Girls as his backups.....

I have always been a Prince fan, and funnily enough I brought that very CD album only a few months back.
I've got it on my to-do list to go ahead and order the Controversy CD. After I wrote about it I thought to myself "geez! idiot! these people are going to see how much of a cheap skate you are!" If I spend to much I get beat up and cussed at.... LOL...
And I'll have it on hand for my room mate to dance to when he's drunk....
