COMMODORES - nightshift (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back....After the death in 1984 of both R&B singers "Jackie Wilson" & "Marvin Gaye", A band called the Commodore's (missing Lionel Richie) released the tribute song "Nightshift" back in 1985.
This song reach No3 in the U.S music charts.

For me, this song is smooth & classy with meaningful lyrics, a true classic of the 80s.
Something that both Jackie and Marvin would be proud of.

THE REELS - bad moon rising (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back.....Walking through Sydney in the early nineties I stumbled across this band playing live at a open air concert. The band was "The Reels" and they were belting out the song "Bad Moon Rising", it literately made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, they were that good. The photo that you see on the left was taken by myself using a old Nikon film camera (remember them).
What got my attention apart from the excellent song was the strange sound the synth player was making with a mouth piece which made sea like sounds, even to this day I still don't know what it is called.
This song sound great with a good set of headphones, just close your eyes and be swept away :)

FAT LARRY BAND - zoom (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back....WOW, how many memories does this song bring back, such a smooth sound and yet if I close my eyes I am taken back to a happier time.... Back to my nans place listening to a small Panasonic radio under my pillow at 2am (I used to stay awake all night) when I used to hear this song so many times. Happier because my nan was still alive, I miss her so much, this song takes me back there.
