    It’s 2021.. Still listening to this classic with the awesome old school music power of MTV. Whenever I listened to this, I feel like I’m dancing in a nightclub.

      +allsports100 I see this flawed statement a lot. The point is that in the 80s-mid 90s you didn't have to *_LOOK_* for the "right artist." The circuit was saturated with talented artists and quality music. Today, most of what you hear is corporate sponsored indoctrination. Only a few artists actually perform to create "art" and those people you don't see at the Music Award shows.
      The vast majority of music that has true substance gets blackballed from mainstream media.
      Back to the point, in the 80s and 90s no matter what musical category it was, Rock, Pop, R&B, Rap, Country, what have you it was far better quality than today.

    One of my favorite 12" extended remixes of all time. I remember when this first came out in 1987, there was a radio station in Baltimore (Hot 95.9, WGHT or WHTE were the calls) which had what you might call a "Top-40/dance" format (probably similar to New York's WKTU) that would play a slight variation of this.

Aside from all that tho..... all that shallow, urban spam and baloney garbage that you hear on the FM band has nothing (or will never have) on 70’s, 80’s, and 90s music.

    • @mariposapapillon9261
      @mariposapapillon9261 5 лет назад +1

      Yup, you confirmed that my recall was correct. I was really into Expose and an arts journalist at the time. I remember that factoid. Now, I don't know if one of her parents was Latino or Latina, but let's put it this way: A deliciously soulful voice is a deliciously soulful voice no matter what the color of one's skin is, and/or what one's ethnicity is. What one person hears as a Black gospel trill, another person hears as Portuguese Fado, etc.
      For what it's worth, I once had a co-worker whose parents emigrated from the *North* of Italy to the United States in the late 19th century. I'm Black American (yes, yes, and of mixed heritage, but I'm not a milennial, so no one cares) and I'm honey-complexioned. My co-worker was like peanut butter-complexioned with hair just as kinky-curly as mine, and she was straight-up Italian. (We both baked Italian cookies -- I no longer bake any desserts; no patience, and the cost of $$$sugar and butter-- so my natural curiosity led me to ask if hers was a family recipe. Mine, I told her, was the recipe of the Italian mom of my mom's best friend. We became instant good work acquaintances.) As with many kinds of conqueror-explorers, the Moors and other African-derived peoples are distant ancestors of many people in Europe and the Americas as in Africa.
      So, yeah, Gioia Bruno -- very much an Italian name set -- is Italian, and her "Black sound" (as I used to hear about a lot back in the late '80s) could be so many influences, including genetic ones. Hmmm...come to think of it, when I open my mouth to sing, my vocal tone and textures evoke Rita Coolidge. But when I sing along to, say, a song by Aretha Franklin (whether from the '60s, '70s, '80s or '90s), I "put it on" and wind up sounding like I'm gospel trained.
      This is why music is such a beautiful force. So universal, so uniting. And this response is waaaayyy too long. Please forgive.

Either way a great song. Mix it over and over with many songs of this genre. Point of no return is def one Lots of memories.
