Question
hi mel!
I really hope you know this one beacause this song is playing in my head for like years ...
My question is what is the name of the song played in the end of the episode in which david @ donna make love for the first time. It begins in the restaurant where the first sit, played by a preformer the david "arranged" (i think it was maybe Luther Vandross...?) and ends when they are in bed.
Thanks so much !!!

Hi Ron,

I think I'm going to need you to clarify further because your question seems to touch on several different scenes.  

In the episode where David and Donna have sex for the first time ("Graduation Day (2)", S7), only the show's natural instrumental score plays in the background and there is no restaurant scene.  Earlier in the hour, Donna and David are at the graduation party thrown by Kelly's father.  The musical group, The Cardigans, play the entire time ("Lovefool" and "Been It", were the songs).  

I thought you might be talking about the restaurant scene at the end of "Love Is Blind" (S10), when the two reunite, but there, too, the music that plays is an instrumental score.  "All That Jazz" (S7) has David and Donna dining out and almost sleeping together in New Orleans.  Appropriately, the background music is a mix of casual jazz tunes.  In the next episode, "Mother's Day", David arranges for R&B artist, Monica, to play at the Peach Pit AfterDark (songs: "Don't Take It Personal" and "For You I Will"), but he makes no attempt to sleep with her.  

The closest a David/Donna song has come to Luther Vandross would likely be their wedding song, "Spend My Life with You", performed by Eric Benet and Tamia in the show's last episode.   

Hope this helps, and thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
