Again and again on Sundays ... the memory comes, fun aside!
Today part two of the wonderful year 1982. At that time I took the entire annual vacation with my partner and we drove or flew to America, at that time still with Pan Am and I sat in a jumbo jet for the first time ..
A propo feeling: It was my nicest and most exciting vacation in the entire 80s.
No record store was safe from me, I had to go to every one I saw from New York to San Francisco - two fascinating cities, by the way.
In a second hand record shop, I saw a man who looked somehow familiar, when two other customers started whispering and talking to us the mystery was solved.
It was New Year's Eve, unfortunately I was so excited that I didn't dare ask for an autograph.
Another experience that I will probably feed on until my "end" is a night in the hottest club in the world, at least back then, Studio 54 in New York.
We just tried to come in and stood in line for half an hour when one of the many bouncers wanted to know where we came from. We said we were from Germany and he said: "Welcome to the Studio 54"
A night that I will never forget ... I had never seen so many crazy and trendy people in one bunch, never danced to such loud and fantastic music and one song was better than the other.
Since then I have been collecting all the films and facts about Studio 54.

I still remember a lot of the songs that was played at that night, many of them you'll hear now in the mix.
The big thing came after midnight, the famous “moon” in 54 outshone the dance floor, then the light was dimmed, fog, thunder, crazy light effect and the crowd suddenly raged and screamed and we just thought what was happening here.
To blame was a song that was just so hip, that people reacted like this: “It's raining men” by the Weather Girls, of course I spent a lot of time in the last week of our vacation trying to find the song somewhere :-)
I'll try to be brief now.
Let's start with a let's say disco pop classic from 1982 "Saddle up".
1982 also stood for the sound of an Italian producer team who, like CHIC, produced very melodic disco funk, Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi. They shaped the sound of Change, BB & Q Band, Peter Jacques Band, Ritchie Family's “I'll do my best ”or“ Feelin lucky latey ”from high fashion and many more artists.
Aretha Franklin was on everyone's lips again with “Jump to it”, Michael Jackson was in the charts with all the songs on the album THRILLER, so to speak, the best-selling album of all time !!!
Prince sang in 1999 and his "girls" Vanity 6 proved to be Nasty Girls :-)
Freeze landed a dance hit worldwide with I.O.U., which Westbam later revived with THE ROOF IS ON FIRE, and a song by Kraftwerk, “Transeuropa Express”, was a freestyle bestseller from Afrika Bambaata.
