Shandon Par Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 A little slice of reggae/r&b. New York, via Jamaica from 1981. Heard this for the first time on Huey Morgan show a year or so back and it's always on my playlists etc now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Associates - I had never heard of them until hearing this song one day on the radio about five years ago.Amazingly talented band from Dundee. This isn't the full version but the proper one doesn't play on mobile devices.Tragic that this song doesn't get more attention, and also sad that billy killed himself. Really into music and haven't heard anything like it.Guessing most people have heard it but it's arguably one of the best ever tunes produced by a Scottish artist IMO.

tongue_tied_danny Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Desireless - Voyage Voyage I remember it well. It came out around the same time as Joe Le Taxi by Vanessa Paradis. I remember one French lesson at school where the sexy young female French assistant played both songs and taught us what the lyrics mean. Here's Joe Le Taxi...

Mel Hutchwright Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As a callow youth, I kind of liked this. Watching the video now however, pretty much everything about it is insufferable... I'm very disappointed in my younger self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerTon Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 When In Rome - The Promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HI_xFQWiYU#t=72 Originally released as a 12" in May 1988. It was re-released later - but didn't reach the Top 40 here (no. 58 in Jan '89) It reached no. 11 in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
