This page has been prompted by a site visitor, who sent me a Windows Media Player file, of a tune that he had on tape from around 20 years ago. He sent me the track last year and I cannot identify the song at all. He suggested this page, which I figured might be useful for site visitors.
If you want to send a small sound file to me (of a tune that is bugging you), I will post the audio at the site and see what happens. If you can identify the track, I will inform the sender. Please bear in mind that I am Mac based, so the sound files will need to be either in Real Audio, MP3 or WAV format.
Here we go:
Tune 1) This tune is the one that was sent last year by our site visitor. Sounds like a tune on Prelude, possibly could be British (Shakatak etc.). Click here (Real Audio Streaming)
Found it! This song is by a Dutch group called Fruitcake entitled 'I Like The Way' from 1982 on High Fashion Records. Thanks to Ed from Danceclassics.net for that one. You can buy the song here.
Tune 2) This was sent to me by someone, who I think is from Holland. Unfortunately I am still trawing through my old e-mail trying to find a contact address! There are two deejays gassing over the background tune, which is the one in question. Click here (Real Audio Streaming)
Tune 3) This was only in the form of an e-mail. The song is a slow jam and sounds like Chaka Khan. Part of the lyrics read 'Don't Need Nobody to Tell Me That You're the One for Me'. Anyone recognise that one?
Tune 4) This was sent to me by Joel Slotnikoff from the excellent Blues World website. Anyone know what this one is? (lyrics below)
