I was in kindergarten when "Love come down" was out so must have been born around 1976. Similar story although I also got into country music. I preferred BET and WBLS/WRKS here in NY to any more pop oriented stuff. I vacationed in Newport News around this time and went to Tidewater Tides games. I stopped reading Billboard in the late 90's. I was a loner and couldn't deal with becoming a man (wanted to stay a boy and later got into gender medicine which was one of the better decisions I made). It's been awhile since I heard the name Donna McElroy and the phrase "hone your chops". I lived in Philly briefly around 2000-01 and then moved back to Orange County, NY. I'm retired at 48 and look after my mother. I'm financially set and building a barn home for my 80K cd collection.
Omg! I remember Video Soul with Donnie Simpson and Video Vibrations! Such an honor to be subscribed to your channel with same interests and grow up road. I love everything you upload and recently uploaded!
I just watched this in its entirety. You did a really great job on this, and I'm not just saying that. I encourage you to do more like this, whether it be vlog music reviews or stories of your past music experiences
