When I Dream About You by Stevie B. gets overlooked.

Some may know these songs, but many don’t because they were local artists (Bay Area, Ca), so I thought to share my favorites. Sharyn Maceren - Hard To Get M:G - What Do You Remember Emotion in Motion - Forever

Not a song many people really knew about since she was more of a local girl, who like Jaya, is Filipina. Do You Miss Me was gold in the clubs when I was spinning, but this was the jam. I remember she performed this live at a club I was at.

I’ve always felt Baby Talk was more Euro Disco or New Wavw like CC Catch and Modern Talking. It kind of toes the line. Baby Love I felt was a rip off of Madonna.

I’ve DJed at clubs with over 500 people and ones with 100. All clubs have a different demographic. One club I spun at was a diverse crowd. Another was an Asian crowd. Another was a more hip hop crowd. You just have to know your audience and cater to them. I hate techno, but if that’s what...

Another name that many overlook is Jaya, who sang If You Leave Me Now.

George Lamond should be at the top of everyone’s list. I watched him on the Apollo singing with Brenda K. Starr and they were both amazing. 1. George Lamond 2. Lisette Melendez 3. Trinere 4. Sa-Fire 5. Nyasia 6. Stevie B. 7. Denise Lopez 8. Shannon (Give Me Tonight) 9. Shana 10. Sweet...

This was hard but going by my most listen songs on ITunes: 1. You’re the One for Me - April 2. Because of You - Cover Girls 3. Where are You Tonight - Coro 4. Bad of Heart - George Lamond 5. Endless Night - Cynthia 6. Boy I’ve Been Told - Safire 7. I Won’t Stop Loving You - C Bank 8. Inside...

One of my favorite old school freestyle jams.
