Question
kumusta. My boyfriend is from the Philippines and I'm trying to find music that he listened to in the 80's. Mainly 1985 through 1989. A couple of them were "Brother Louie" and "19628".  I think they were both dance music. So if you can think of any more I would appriciate them.


Answer
Dear Polly,

I can think of lots of songs but I don't do lists here. I don't have a ready list that I can just cut and paste. I'll just give you ten songs from the dance genre of those years.

1985:
RICO MAMBO - THE BREAKFAST CLUB
CHA CHA CHA - FINZY KONTINI

1986:  
HOLIDAY RAP - MC MIKER G & DJ SVEN
NEVER MIND - COLORS

1987:
HYPNOTIZED - COPY-RIGHT
TAKE ME UP - SCOTCH

1988:
LOVER BOY - CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD featuring Gen. Johnson
SOUL SURVIVOR - C.C. CATCH

1989:
TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART - RICK ASTLEY
KISS - THE ART OF NOISE featuring Tom Jones

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
