I never really cared for S/A/W's over-produced stuff, but wouldn't mind hearing "I Heard A Rumour" (though "Love In the First Degree" is a better tune, IMO)
OMFG.  Lisa Lisa!  Unfortunately, we'll never in a million years hear this on KFOG.  Que sera, que sera...

Yes -- I totally prefer "Love in the 1st..." and never understood how it missed being a Top 40 smash.

Excellent set, for the most part.  Maybe he programmed the wrong track from a best-of TH cd (probably meant to play "Wild Wild Life").  "Captain of Her Heart" is NTM and Miami Sound Machine never quite did it for me.  That's my fave JJ song!  Haaaaaaay!

[RGMike]

"Captain of Her Heart" is NTM

OMG -- you've never heard "Captain of Her Heart"?  Classic '80s EuroCheeze!
