Pixabay The opening track by Soundburger is from Saturday Night - South African Disco Pop Hits - 1981 to 1987 , which is out on Cultures Of Soul now: “The sound on these records is ostensibly familiar, drawing heavily on models from the 1980s dance culture in Europe and America, but if you listen closely enough you can hear the distinct South African-ness of it all—from the deep, burbling basslines, the brightly hypnotic melodies, and chant-like lyrics—and with sounds as intoxicating as these, you will sure want to listen closely.” Enjoy this funky nite part of Eddy’s Eighties Grooves !

There will be a new one by The Smooth Operators soon as well :-) The track by Dutch duo Martin & Garp is from their brand new album Sentimental Fools : “Imagine that ‘feel-good record’ that has to be played loudly in your convertible, recorded by super-pro musicians on original analog equipment.

  Unsplash We’re going back to the future, enjoy this exclusive time machine trip! 😊 I really like Save Your Tears , the new single from The Weeknd. The video is exploding on YouTube, because of its controversial content. Did he have plastic sugery or is his blown up face fake? After being recovered from Hodgkin's disease, singer Martin Fry reformed his band ABC as a duo in the second half of the 1980s. They were back on track in the summer of 1987,  when they released When Smokey Sings . The song was a major success on the charts, reaching number 5 in the U.S. and number 11 in the U.K and the Netherlands. Their tribute to Motown legend Smokey Robinson would become their biggest hit ever. Tracklist: First Light – Time Machine (1983) Rah Band – Clouds Across The Moon (1985) The Weeknd – Save Your Tears (2020) Timecop1983 Feat. Josh Dally – One Night (2021) Client Liason – Electric Eyes (2016) Allie X – That’s So Us (2017) The Human League – Don’t You Want Me [Lady Gaga M...

Barry White started working in the music industry in the 1960s, but his commercial success came a decade later as one of the frontrunners of disco, creating Love’s Theme with his Love Unlimited Orchestra and solo songs like Never Never Gonna Give Ya Up, You're The First, The Last, My Everything and Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe . After disco had reached its peak, the “walrus of love” slowly disappeared from the limelight, although he kept on making great records in the 1980s. Because of his distinctive bass-baritone voice, his spoken intros and the use of strings as often as he could, he eventually became a musical romantic icon. Jamaican born Englishman Carl Douglas is best known for his 1974 disco novelty hit Kung Fu Fighting . Being a soul singer, he did not take the track seriously at first. The studio musicians had quite some fun while recording it, drummer John Richardson (Rubettes) once said in an interview for the Dutch TV-series Single Luck . They though...

Daniel Salgado Happy new year to all my listeners and subscribers!  Hop in your car, tune in to Mellow Mellow FM Radio and start driving down Route 66 on this first day of 2021! Normally this kind of music would be called yacht rock, but let’s name it smooth car rock this time 😊 The track by Smokey Robinson is from the compilation 76 In The Shade, compiled by Bob Stanley, member of the band Saint Etienne. This is what he wrote about the song in his linernotes: “Get Out Of Town was an instant picnic, the warm breeze in your hair and you escape the city in a red convertible.” Montana-born Nicolette Larson began her musical career in San Francisco in the early 1970s. Moving south to Los Angeles to become a successful singer, she met Linda Ronstadt, who recommended her to Neil Young, when he was looking for backing vocalists. Larson got the call to head to his ranch and cut vocals for American Stars ’N’ Bars. She also sang on his next album, Comes A Time , which featured Lotta Love...
