Blast from the Past: Sweetwater

Sweetwater, you might recall, opened Woodstock. They were the first band to play and helicoptered out of the show with no clue it was to be so huge.

Blast from the Past: Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life

If you’re old like me, you might remember when this song came out. It was one of those songs that was played over, and over and over….and over again.

I used to love Terri Nunn and Berlin. This was my favorite song back in the day. I saw on a VH-1 Special Terri is now suburban soccer mom, and enjoying life! Rock on, Terri!

Blast from the Past: Sass Jordan - High Road Easy

 
The first time I heard Sass Jordan was at a club in New York City, I think the Limelight in the late ’80s.. I went with some friends who told me I’d be blown away, indeed I was. Sass was a total badass and her voice is exactly what one would expect from a woman […]

Blast from the Past: Reba McIntyre "Fancy"

This song was huge, HUGE for Reba McIntyre in 1990 - 1991. The video received lots of airplay on VH-1 which was primarily rock at the time, but began playing “new country” as it became more in demand.
Enjoy.

Blast From the Past: Patti LaBelle Sings "Lady Marmalade"

Now here’s how it’s done.

Those costumes though!!!
