‘Music For The Dancers’ N°334 – Vintage 80s Music Videos
UB40’s "Rat in Mi Kitchen" combines an upbeat reggae rhythm with political edge, using a metaphorical rat to critique Margaret Thatcher’s government. Catchy horns and Ali Campbell’s vocals drive its charm. Blondie’s "Call Me," penned for *American Gigolo*, captures late-night energy with Debbie Harry’s dynamic delivery atop Giorgio Moroder’s production, reigning atop charts with its infectious swagger.
Elvis Costello’s energetic rework of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down" transforms heartbreak into danceable urgency, while Freeez’s electro-funk "IOU" pushes early ‘80s sampling tools for a slick, tech-forward vibe. Simply Red’s funk-inspired "The Right Thing" melds polish with Mick Hucknall’s bold vocals, and Matt Bianco’s lively "Get Out of Your Lazy Bed" spreads jazz-infused cheer, daring listeners to stay put.
This week In Soul Artists 03/52
Etta James’ fiery vocals never touched Wilson Pickett's groove-laden "In the Midnight Hour," despite myths of a collaboration with B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Wilson Pickett’s gritty delivery also powered "Mustang Sally," born from Mack Rice’s pen. Aretha Franklin’s heartache-infused "Call Me" turned a casual farewell into an emotional anthem, while Sade’s "Paradise" stayed cool and restrained. Parliament’s funky "Do That Stuff" thrived on eccentricity, and Jackie Wilson dazzled with the heartfelt swing of "That’s Why (I Love You So)." Mavis Staples led "I’ll Take You There" with gospel-rooted family textures, and Whitney Houston’s "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" paired glittering ’80s pop with genuine yearning. Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Closer” brought sultry intimacy, and The Roots’ “You Got Me,” with Erykah Badu and Eve, blended vulnerability with neo-soul grooves. Across decades and genres, these tracks capture vivid moments without overreach.
