Today it’s
been 3 years since Teena Marie died of the consequences of a stupid accident in
a hotel room back in 2004.I’m a big fan
of her 1984 hit “Lovergirl”. I didn’t had the chance (or occasion) to buy
one of her album back then.I discovered
much later that her legacy and discography is bigger than I thought and bigger
than a lot of people might think….I think.She almost did one album per year in the 80s decade!I hope this post can give you the curiosity
to go discover and listen to her music.This one’s for her and for her fans. #RIP Ivory Queen Of Soul
Today is Ric Ocasek's Birthday and I ask myself what should I say for this special day. Well, here is a true story of a young girl who wanted to be a radio jockey.
In 1984, the year The Cars "Heartbeat City" was released I was 14 years old and knew a little about life but I knew damn well my love for music. My dad didn't have to give me chocolate or a dress to make me smile. When he came home with a vinyl in his hand, he knew his young girl would have a big smile on her face. So that year I listened both sides of The Cars album again and again. My dad took me to the radio station to see if I could have own radio show. I knew the man standing in front of me, a well respected radio jockey. I was quite nervous and he asked me to make a playlist and he would see if I could do the job. The only thing I remember is that my list had at least 5 songs of The Cars "Heartbeat City" album, I mean, it was good music!!! Of course, the man must have laughed or smile with empathy to my list....of course I didn't have the job! Thing is, in 1988 I got a call from the record store asking me if I would like to work there and that same night my music career started and never stopped. Today I work for a record label and each time I hear The Cars "Hearbeat City" it brings me good souvenirs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIC! - MissEighties
