Judge plays white folks! Nu Shooz, "Point of No Return". Weren't there 2 diff songs with that title around the same time? The Cover Girls, perhaps?

The underappreciated Exposé did the other one.

Thanks! I knew it was one of those late-'80s Nuevo girl groups. Company B was another.

ooo! now he's playing RFTW's "Love You Down".

Are you and I the only people who still have a soft spot for this scene?  Sweet Sensation, Cover Girls ... and the solo artists Corina ("Temptation") and Martika.  (I think she counts.)

Well, "Toy Soldiers" is a HFH for me, so the less said about Martika the better.

Now were getting Freddie Jackson singing about "Tasty Love". Which for fat Freddie would be a 10-pound glazed ham, I reckon. (Or a night with Michael Strahan)

Judge gives us Prince, "100 MPH". much 2 hot 2 B cool!

OK, actually Maserati (a Prince production, I assume -- who can tell the diff?)

[RGMike]

Gwen Guthrie's got them bill collectors at her door again.

[RGMike]

no idea who's doing a very faithful cover of FOD's "Going in Circles".

[RGMike]

OMG -- Prince's "Anotherloverholeinyohead"!

[RGMike]

Judge plays Dolemite!

"you mah nigga if you don't get no bigga -- and if you get bigga, then you mah bigga nigga".

Word.

[RGMike]

Hoo Lawd! "Casanova" -- one of my very fave singles of the late '80s.

[RGMike]

Dept of Redundancy Dept: Patti Austin, "in the heat of heat, the heat is so hot" Huh?

[RGMike]

Listening to Gold's retro-chart show: it's Sept 1978 when "3 Times a Lady" was #1. And I'm hearing Renaissance -- anyone else remember them besides me? -- doing a song called "Northern Lights" that almost sounds like one of ABBA's ballads. New to me and quite pretty.

Renaissance were huge on NYC prog-FM radio in the mid-'70s, and all-but-forgotten now.

[RGMike]

and now it's "Substitute" (NOT the Who song) a former #1 by Clout, on its way down. Gloria Gaynor covered it in the US and both versions ended up bombing here. But on the flip side of Ms. Gaynor's "Substitute" was a little ditty called "I Will Survive" that you may have heard once or twice...
