Old School Friday Music Meme – School Prom Or School Dance

My high school prom was 1986 and the theme was “If Only For One Night”. I think I even still have the glass stashed away somewhere. These were the years when Luther made all the girls swoon. Take a listen.

A few years before then, the Gap Band had burst on the scene. Whenever your heart had been run over, this is the song that probably came to mind. Charlie and the boys were playing those Oklahoma cowboy hats tough!

Old School Friday Music Meme – Can’t Find It On YouTube

This was last week’s meme but I’ll chime in on it anyway. Everything ever made by Prince has been banned from YouTube (darned lavender music Nazis) but until the Purple One figures it out and throws a fit you can find some of his material on the Fanpop and on Dailymotion web video players. Here’s one of his and The Revolution’s early hits that was a typical bass driven beat that lived up to it’s title, “Controversy”.

He may be a prince but he will always be the king of the Minneapolis Sound.

Want to play? Here are the rules and some of the bloggers who regularly participate in the meme. When you join in here’s the list of Friday topics you can post on. Happy OSF!
