I remember relaxing in the backyard wearing out my tape of "No Jacket Required" back in the day.

I have that "2 albums on 1 CD" set by The Tempts that you have pictured. That photo is also from my favorite performance of theirs (when they appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1967).

I thought about using a Phil Collins (Genesis, actually) song for my list, too, but I ended up going with something else. Great list!

*swoon* I use to have such a crush on George Michael.

Back when I was in high school EVERYBODY had "No Jacket Required" Oh man. That tape was sooo popular.

Malcolm, Phil Collins was as big as any performer in the 80's and I really enjoyed his music too. I actually looked for the picture of the original "I Wish It Would Rain" album cover, but was unsuccessful. Remember, they would in the desert dressed like they were in the Foreign Legion.

Michael, I am a fan of Phil Collins, however I don't hear much from him anymore.

Simply Shannon, I could barely stand Wham, but I loved the song "Careless Whisper".

Jay, "No Jacket Required" seems to bring back fond memories for everyone.

The Mistress of the Dark, those were great tunes.
