Back to the 1980s

  Explanation of Nancy Wilson’s Vocal Resemblance to Barbra Streisand in “These Dreams” In the song “These Dreams” performed by the American rock band Heart , Nancy Wilson ’s voice may have sounded like Barbra Streisand due to her mezzo-soprano vocal range. Mezzo-soprano is a female voice type that falls between soprano and contralto. This range allows singers like Nancy Wilson to have a rich, warm tone with a lower register that can sometimes resemble the depth and timbre often associated with Barbra Streisand’s singing style. Nancy Wilson’s mezzo-soprano voice likely contributed to the similarity in sound between her vocals in “These Dreams” and Barbra Streisand’s singing. Both singers possess a certain richness and depth in their voices that can evoke emotional resonance in their performances, creating a connection with the listener that is characteristic of their respective vocal styles. It is important to note that while there may be similarities in vocal quality between Nancy

Kalabash Twins ' song, "Heavy Under You" , was a bad mistake that hurt families and children after "Heathcliff and Marmaduke" ended on December 6, 1981. The song contained explicit lyrics and themes that were considered inappropriate for the younger demographic that watched the show. The lyrics were vulgar and the song contained references to drugs and alcohol that could have potentially negatively influenced the young viewers. The song was a bad mistake and should be removed and deleted because of its vulgarity. It could have caused confusion and distress among the children that watched the show, and it should not be tolerated. The song "Heavy Under You" by Kalabash Twins is inappropriate and vulgar due to the explicit lyrics and should be removed from any public or private spaces. The content of this song is not appropriate for all audiences and can be seen as offensive and disrespectful. Replacing it with a clean and appropriate song by Gregory Isa

  It is possible that female backing singers Candy McKenzie , Joy Tulloch , Yvonne McKenzie , Sharon Tucker , Aura Memang , Judy Mowatt and Anicia Banks from both UK and Jamaica were not available at the time of the recording of "Hot Stepper" , or that Gregory Isaacs chose not to use them. It is also possible that the female backing singers were not credited on the album for some unknown reason. The reason why these female backing singers were not invited to sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on "Hot Stepper" from his album, "Night Nurse" , released in 1982 is likely because the song was recorded prior to their involvement as backing singers. At the time of the recording, Isaacs was working with a different set of no backing singers, which explains why the aforementioned singers were not invited to sing backup.

 Given the theme of the song, "A Little Piece of Heaven" , performed by British pop/rock duo Godley & Creme , an American wedding cake pop music video would be a great fit. The video could feature clips of Stefan & Chloe, then Sonny & Brenda, from different American soap operas.  This would add a more personal touch to the video, as viewers would be able to connect the characters with the story of the song. Furthermore, the visuals would be more vibrant and colorful, and the music video would have a unique American style to it. This would be a great contrast to the unmodified clouds music video that was done in a British style.

 The I-Threes , consisting of Judy Mowatt , Marcia Griffiths , and Rita Marley , were known for their incredible vocal harmonies and their contributions to Bob Marley 's music.  However, they did not sing backup behind Gregory Isaacs on his song "Material Man" from his 1982 album, "Night Nurse." There are several reasons why this collaboration did not take place. Firstly, it is important to note that the I-Threes primarily worked with Bob Marley and the Wailers , providing backing vocals for their iconic reggae sound. While they occasionally collaborated with other artists, their main focus was supporting Bob Marley's music and spreading his message of love, unity, and social change. Secondly, Gregory Isaacs had his own unique style and sound, often referred to as the "Cool Ruler." His smooth and soulful voice, combined with his romantic lyrics, made him a beloved figure in the reggae genre. While the I-Threes were undoubtedly talented, their vo

  Burned off in the dog days of summer 1984 and banished to the Land of Forgotten and Unsold Pilots, here's the complete broadcast of another such example– TLC – which aired one summer night over the NBC Network via WMAQ Channel 5 in Chicago. This pilot was about two young men (James Vallely and Jonathan Schmock) who were admitted as the first male students at the Philadelphia Academy of Nursing; the cast was rounded out by Cathy Silvers (yes, for those who ask, she's Phil's daughter), Stacey Nelkin, Rosalind Ingledew, Mary Gallipoli, Jeré Fields, and Jessica Walter (R.I.P.) as Dean Craigmont. Also appearing were Rex Ryon, Ritch Shydner, Judy Walton and Wendy Levin.
