"vision of love" and "it must have been love" are both AMAZING ("vision of love" is better)

WTF? I've never heard those Glen Medeiros and Sweet Sensation songs either - and I'm a 1990 expert...

What is freestyle?

I remember Glenn Medeiros but dont think its that song.

Wow -- I know at least thirty-two of the songs on the July 21 list. This was the peak of my top 40 listening.

It's crazy how true this is for me too. Not July 21st. Apparently I hit my peak while "Escapade" was #1 a couple months prior.

(xx-post) Wow. I don't think I've heard either of those songs since I was about six, and I certainly didn't know that kind of music had a name. I would've just lumped it in with 80s pop. Interesting. So they called it "freestyle" even though it had nothing to do with freestyle rapping?

Its longer name is Latin Freestyle, though the "latin" part got largely dropped by the time people like Information Society moved in on the sound.
