As far as a book, I'm glad you think my posts are worthy of one.. Anyway, I can't believe you still have that LaToya tape! haha.. My stereo set-up was so bad then.. For the record, I think that Hip-House remix of Toy's "Sexual Feeling" is still hot!Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631387187116034184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-60038984826235821932012-05-14T15:45:03.595-04:002012-05-14T15:45:03.595-04:00Excellent work as always Tommy.

As for Melba, I am in love with her so of course I adore this. Saw her London show a few weeks back and it was fabulous in every way, there's a pick on FB of me and her together, which I treasure almost as much as that La Toya tape you made for me all those years ago, which I still have hehe.Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-32697431031998843202012-04-27T15:47:10.342-04:002012-04-27T15:47:10.342-04:00Professor Eddy: Glad you heard it!

QH: Thank...Professor: Look forward to hearing it! <br /><br />QH: Thanks for the kind words, as always. I thought Melba was perfect for this material, there is an edge to her voice that this album really makes the most of. If you do decide to look into her a bit more, her 1985 album "Read My Lips" is a nice starting point. Proabably one of her most accessible, versatile records.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631387187116034184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-21130535040096760202012-04-17T09:26:37.407-04:002012-04-17T09:26:37.407-04:00I will surely listen to 'Everything So Good Ab...I will surely listen to 'Everything So Good About You', thanks for your advice!

I recently heard her last Epic LP - Closer from 1980, the follow-up to this album, where she returned to the Philly fold.. "Everything So Good About You," has to be one of her greatest hidden gems.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631387187116034184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-55195052968851851072012-04-16T13:09:44.498-04:002012-04-16T13:09:44.498-04:00Tommy is Back!Tommy is Back!stiviohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517543022879685329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-32608762748549703742012-04-16T12:06:58.175-04:002012-04-16T12:06:58.175-04:00Great to have you posting again, Tommy!Great to have you posting again, Tommy!crotchbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07333720784297242171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20748548.post-38405989409494569862012-04-15T22:26:39.386-04:002012-04-15T22:26:39.386-04:00Hey thanks.

The video clip was nice, banging dress, and vocally she seemed adept to material.<br /><br />I love that you capture, as always, a range of sound, styles, and history in your work.
