Reviews

  • Dylans_Discotheque's avatar
    Great disco-funk 80s album. Never Gonna Give You Up is super excellent. Also, what's a future funk?
    • smoothjazzaxe's avatar
      smoothjazzaxe
      For me the most memorable tune from this album was the slow and thoughtful one, The Dream. It was receiving airplay as late as 1984 on smooth/fusion jazz radio; notably WNSB in Norfolk
