Here I am, working like crazy to get some deadlines out of the way before the big birthday trip, not getting (too...) distracted with the Network or anything else, then BLAM! Hotline message w/ the above press release. No one is going to complain about a new release, esp one that's been talked about and rumored for months.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw "Arthur's Theme". Barry covers Christopher Cross stuff perfectly. Plus, Arthur is one of my favorite movies. Every girl loves a Cinderella story, but this one makes me utterly homesick.
So, if anyone in LA or LV is reading this - any chance that any of these songs might suddenly sneak into the show a little early? Like, next week? Please? Pretty please??
Food for thought: couldn't help but notice Barry didn't include any of his own 80s singles here. Wonder why?
And of course, if the '80s compilation is a lead in to another release (the guitar-based album that has also been rumored and chatted about for months) there won't be any complaints from here either.
Now I have to find a way to get back to work and get my commitments done before 10/23!
I remember events associated with each one of the songs. The one artist I wish he would have also done would have been Lionel Richie. But, at least he did another one of my all time favorites - STEVIE! Yahoo!!!
ReplyDeleteWhich Lionel Richie song? I can imagine him doing "Hello". Maybe "Dancing on the Ceiling" with a bit of a rearrange. NOT "All Night Long".....
ReplyDeleteThing is from what I heard in interviews the songs all had to be #1 on Billboard during the decade. Did any of Richie's songs officially go #1?
Hello, Truly, Three Times a Lady, and my all time favorite is Still. I would LOVE to hear him play that especially the last part where the piano ends, and he says STILL with no music behind it. A girl could only wish.
