Music Monday: Oldies, Goodies

For a typically late Music Monday, a couple songs that have crossed my path in the last week or two. They're by no means new but they're new to me, which I chalk up to them both coming from that amazing era of early 80's dance/soul/r&b/sparklemagic that I've tended to ignore, looking to the '60s and '70s for soul and the '80s for synth creations. Not a mistake I will make again! Finding these was like chilling with someone you always vaguely knew and realizing that you are destined to be besties and should have known this years before (i.e. the backstory of Mack to the Future, duh!).

First, Goldie Alexander's 1983 banger "Show You My Love":



And second, Jocelyn Brown's "Somebody Else's Guy" from 1984:


Big ups to the lovely and talented Tasha who alerted me to the brilliance of this second one - checking her out over at Tasha Say Yeah will be the best decision you make this fall. Go forth!
