DoctorDonRose

Hello, Novato HS, California Class of '82 here! Dr. Don Rose was an important radio staple for me in my 1970's Bay Area boyhood, 610 KFRC AM San Francisco. KITS 105.3 FM was important for me all through the 1980's. I have a huge and growing collection of pop/rock tracks in my digital music collection.


I please need help in IDing some old tunes I heard in the 20th century. Sorry, no recorded samples for any of the below.

1. In SF Bay Area, a number heard by me circa the month of Feb. 1982 and never heard again by me. Played on FM radio. The beat sounds like that of Love Machine, 1975 by The Miracles. The only lyrics I remember was the phrase "that girl". I think it was in a minor key and had horns. Kind of a African American funk pop tune. Black male vocals.

2. Summer of 1985, at Charlie Bolton's, Novato, California, a dance hall....an African American dance song with continuous electronic beeping in it. Has the word "harmony" in the lyrics. Only heard again on local SF FM radio in 1986 and never again by me afterward. The beat is on par with Prince's Computer Blue from Purple Rain album, 1984. Think of Computer Blue-ish sounding rappish/funkish/hip-hopish songs with a constant electronic beep through it like navy submarine sonar sounding. Black male vocals. The lyrics had a rap-like poetry to them like MC Hammer Pray.

3. summer of 1979, romantic, sweet, soft, feminine pop song, ballad, slow tempo, mellow tune, white woman, voice like that of Barbara Streisand in Evergreen.

Believe me, it does work. If it doesn't, you're doing it wrong. Most likely not using the right tags or not removing everything from the link before the '='.

I don't know what I'm doing then. I'll just get my post count up first then try the link again later on.

I don't think there is a way to load audio or video up directly here.

I don't honestly know the diff between RIGHT tags and DOG tags. I don't see the connection between tags and computers except price tags on the ones displayed in Walmart.

Why?
