Pebbles
It seems like everything is about the 80s at the moment. Last weekend my boy Mikey from Bugz In The Attic had an 80s themed Birthday party which required me to dress up which is something I hate doing. Reluctantly though I agreed to show my face and with my girls Jules (doing her best impression of Fatsarazzi) and Vivian (doing her best impression of a pre Buffalo Stance and Kisses On The Wind Neneh Cherry) in tow we headed down to deepest darkest West London for a night of fun and frolics or not as the case may be. As it turned out, it wasn’t bad at all and when I heard Let’s Hear It For The Boy by Deniece Williams playing as soon as we arrived I knew it was going to be a good night.
The following evening at Acyde’s Birthday Party I heard Deniece Williams again – two nights in a row damn it - along with a whole load of classic Prince and Nu Shooz and the Gap Band which kept that smile on my face well into the early hours of Monday morning but something was bothering me although I couldn’t figure out what it was.
Then, after a good chat with my girl Amelian in Las Vegas, it hit me. At these 80s jams you always hear When Doves Cry and The Message And Rapture but no one ever drops Girlfriend by Pebbles. Why is this? Girlfriend is quite simply one of the biggest tracks of the 80s and anyone who disagrees with me on this can hit me up if they want to discuss it. Produced by Babyface and LA Reid whom Pebbles actually ended up marrying it is still so fresh it is ridiculous and really should be on the play list at every 80s party and arguably all parties. So all you DJs out there reading this, go out and get this record. It’s worth it for the cover alone.
