Question
Hi! I am looking for the titles and artists of hit smooth jazz songs of the 80's which were being played over citylite 88.3 during that time. I know the tunes but not the titles nor artists. I've been listening to free internet mp3 streams by artists like david benoit, earl klugh, noel pointer, chuck mangione,lee ritenour, etc. I found some hit songs like Kei's song, dreamwalking, etc. but still missing a lot. Can you name me the top 80's jazz artists and their hit songs during that time? I am a very sentimental person. In the 80's, I loved listening to the refreshing sound of citylite 88.3 while driving at night, going to places like QC and antipolo where there were a lot of cool places to drink and unwind with friends while listening to jazz music. Thank you in advance for your help!

Answer

The 80s: a decade where the music was grand. i learned a great deal on the wonderworkings of new wave artists; those pop-rock ditties were remarkable, yet the laid-back love songs were always as good as it was then. as regards artists and their songs,i maybe of help though i'm partial to rap,country,and metal. I am also a smooth jazz junkie and may have infos to take you along a splendid music cruise in our time.
