Madonna's earlier stuff, & The first albums by Brenda K. Starr, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, & others all had heavy influences of this music.
Then again, these artists were hott at the same time, & would be played along with Freestyle & Breakdance/Hip-Hop in da clubs back then.

Damn yo, these were good songs. Bring back mad oldskool memories.
So who, or what songs did u like?

Man all this stuff brings back so many memories.

I still play it when I'm chilling at home in my garage on a hot summer day throwing back some cold ones.

My wife likes the music but not the memories I have. I'm a bit older than her and we're from slightly different eras so when I was rolling during those years she wasn't around, so needless to say she doesn't like to hear the stories when I was rollin with the homies..

From Rick James, it's a toss up between Val Young and The Mary Jane Girls.
