From Child Star to Fame Angel: The Story of Irene Cara
In the wake of her passing I decided to write this story in honor of Irene to celebrate her memory. Before she was writing a song that earned her accolades, she was a young child starlet singing Latin music during the 1960s. During the 1980s, she starred in Fame and singing the film's title that topped number one in various countries until she sang "What a Feeling" making it another hit song compared to Fame.

Top 4 Underrated Michael Jackson songs
Michael Jackson was one of the first musicians I listened to before I even knew it was Michael Jackson. My first introduction to him was on Rockin With The Chipmunks, two of his songs were included to showcase the 1980s. I would watch that VHS tape over and over during my stays at the hospital when I had leukemia as a tot. I never knew how much I enjoyed Michael Jackson's songs as a toddler when my grandmother would tell me I would dance around despite the wires on me.

Top 4 Underrated Pet Shop Boys Songs
The first time I listened to Pet Shop Boys, I was 11 years old and I was in the Chick Fil A parking lot waiting for my mom to come out of the restaurant. I was going through the songs on my old blue MP3 player. My mother had put some songs on my MP3 player on a whim, most of the time I skipped them to the other songs I knew. But I decided to give it a shot and see what the song West End Girls was like. That song became a late-night lullaby for me. that is one of the songs that changed the way I listen to music. Years later, I decided to indulge in the album and expand to other songs from The Pet Shop Boys.

The Angels - Symphony Of Angels Concert (Review)
Anyone who knows me well, knows that my favourite musical band is, and has always been, The Angels. I was I guess, one of their top groupies back in the day. I followed them from pub to pub, gig to gig and never missed a show back in the 1980’s.

Songs A Cappella
Introduction A cappella is Italian for ''in the style of the chapel''. Music is a performance by a singer or a singing group without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. The term a cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato musical styles. In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony, coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists, led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music.

River Of Song
Intro When I did my “Runaway Train” playlist (see the end of this one) I was really surprised at how many songs there were called “Runaway Train” and I do like to put things together with a theme, and a friend of mine loves the Joni Mitchell song “River”, so I wondered could I put together a playlist of songs that have the word “River” in the title.
