The Shirelles - Will you still love me tomorrow

 

Depends what you define as recently but I discovered this song about 2 years ago and I'd never heard it in my life... it's now one of my favourite songs ever I utterly adore it is one of my most played songs on spotify.

 

Yeah very good it reminds me of Del Shannon - Runaway from the same era.

April 9th – A song from the 20th century that you only recently discovered: Big Pun - Beware

 

 

Doing the threat where I listened to all of the albums included in Rolling Stones' Top 200 Hip-Hop Albums of All-Time' allowed me to hear so many brilliant hip-hop tracks from the 80s and 90s that I wouldn't have otherwise heard and I was stuck between so many but I decided to go for the first track of Big Pun's 1998 'Capital Punishment' album.

Day 9 - I love discovering most 20th Century music as it's mainly a lot more up my street than today's hits, and the weekly Synctube listening sessions are allowing me to discover new things most weeks, 6Music is also helpful though and I think I'll use this beautiful electronic/trip hop number from 1993, just missed the top 40 x

No, just an coincidence mate.

DAY NINE: SONG FROM LAST CENTURY

 

It's not entirely a new discovery as such as I've recognised it for a long time, but it's the most recent addition to my iTunes library from the 20th century after I heard it in a Netflix drama last year and realised how much I liked it

Have you ever heard Elton Motello's Jet Boy, Jet Girl? It was made marginally famous by Captain Sensible. If not, you should check it out. Then read the Wiki page to understand the story. An odd little history there.

Day 10 – A song you like named after someone famous

 

Mojo Nixon - Debbie Gibson is Pregnant

April 10th – A song you like named after someone famous

 

 

May as well import this #1 from the The BMRB Years- Top 10 sales 1980 thread on the 20th Century Retro forum. The song was named after singer Geno Washington.

Day 8:

 

A song you like with a planet in the title

 

Rêve - Saturn Return

 

Rêve's album title track is stunning. I was stuck between this and Ava Max - Last Night On Earth, but I thought we could do with another song with Saturn in the title over another one with Earth.

Day 9:

 

A song from the 20th Century that you only recently discovered

 

Mariah Carey - Prisoner

 

It wasn't "recent" in that it was the last year, but I only discovered this during one of the AF Idol's a couple of years back and it's so so so SOOOOO good! Really should have been a single in the 90's!
