Happy Saturday, everyone!
Such an appropriate selection for today...
The earliest memory I have of this song was always running out of breath in my little lungs every time the chorus of the song started. Another duet that was a hit for Tabu Records artists Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle, "Saturday Love" was featured on Cherrelle's second album, "High Priority," and I am so glad that the catalog of these two artists, along with the S.O.S. Band and Brainstorm are now available again as reissues. For the longest time, I have had to order vinyl and used import CDs from Europe and Japan just to hear some of the songs that were not fortunate enough to be released as a single and receive radio attention. This, of course, was pre-Napster and pre-iTunes, and when Napster came along, at least it did allow me the opportunity to listen to records that were no longer available in the states, thanks to its peer-to-peer file-sharing platform. Fast-forward to today, collectors, gurus, musicians and patrons of actual music have spawned a niche market for record companies, the "Old-School" market. Without actually knowing the numbers, I hope it has proven a profitable venture to them. If it has, it will encourage them to re-release other gems that haven't tasted the treatment of being released in digital download or CD format for the future generations of listeners to enjoy and be inspired by... This is my hope... Enjoy and be safe!
