I love this song, my favorite from Jon Secada. That album was a huge hit back in the early 90s. It had 4 singles! “Just Another Day”, “Do You Believe in Us”, “I’m Free” and this tune, “Angel”. It can be construed as a song about letting go, or returning love. Either way, this song [...]
There are 3 songs with the same title, one way back in 1935, the other, a 1973 hit by Charlie Rich, and this Prince’s tune. The year was 1995, and it was his first album since he changed his named to The Symbol, and then to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and then to [...]

It’s my favorite Scorpions track. I remember going crazy about this tune, and put it on constant rewind back in 1991. Although the track was released in 1990, it didn’t become huge until a year later. I can say we need something similar for Malaysia, a wind of change. I remember plucking this tune (note [...]

Joe Elliott, the lead singer, says that this song is about [...]

I loved Inner Circle, ever since that big hit back in 1993, Sweat. I’ve been buying their albums ever since though the last 10 years, it has been something of tantamount nature trying to get my hands on them. I remember how much I loved this tune, and I believe I bought this cassette about [...]
It was originally sung by James Ray in 1962. George Harrison made it a hit back in 1988 with a cover version, and it was the last number one single in the US for any of the solo Beatles. Though, there’s not much words in the lyrics, and even Weird Al Yankovi took the piss [...]

This ballad was written in 1977. It became Hill’s biggest hit, with a few other artistes covered the song. I’m sure it’s one of the most sung tunes in Karaoke clubs. I can imagine the locals singing it with heavy oriental accents, drowning the “r”s. Whatever it is, how you want to remember this song, [...]
