Decades: 1980’s
From the English perspective, these were the days of the Ford Escort Mark II with TDK C90’s taking centre stage as the music took us on a journey: normally to work, but at least with our spirits lifted. From the early part of the decade with Stephanie Mills, the Jam & Lewis era in full flow with New Edition, to the power of Diane Reeves at the end of the 80’s, there are some fine examples of great music to be found here.
