Old School Friday: Remakes

My song/video this week for Old School Friday comes by way of 'Troop'. This 1989 hit song is a remake of the 1975 hit from 'Jackson 5'. Troop did a great job duplicating the classic love song. I actually posted both videos so that you can determine whose version is better.

That Darn Song!

Have you ever heard a song that you liked so much, that you listened to it over and over again!? I am dealing with that now! If you are familiar with the smooth jazz game, then you know who saxophonist Kirk Whalum is. Kirk's latest project 'Roundtrip' features the hit title song and I love it; to the point that I have listened to it close to 50 times today!

There is nothing too exceptional about the song; I just really like it. It is really smooth, with classic vocals from his brother Kevin and uncle Hugh "Peanuts" Whalum. It truly is great music. For all smooth jazz fans out there, you definitely need to take a ear to this Kirk Whalum project.

Perhaps You Didn't.....

So in case you haven't noticed, I have added a picture of a fine and sexy automobile as the backdrop to my blog headline. I think it really enhances the headline a bit and it helps me to express my love for exotic cars at the same time. So whatcha think? Do you dig it? Oh, if you are curious to know, the car is a Hamann-styled Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

Gotta love those Italians...they can make one helluva car!

::UPDATE:: Since this posting, I have swapped the Ferrari for a Brabus-tuned Mercedes-Benz SL. I hope that you still enjoy the new layout nonetheless.

Old School Friday: Movie Songs

My song/video this week for OSF comes from Katrina & The Waves. This 1985 hit song was featured on the 1989 movie 'Look Who's Talking', which of course featured John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. I believe this was also the first movie that ever featured talking babies; well they really didn't talk, but what they were thinking was put on blast.
