Blackstreet - No Diggity ft. Dr. Dre, Queen Pen
Because even 20 years after after it was first released, I still find this beat hypnotic.

Glenn Frey - The One You Love
Although this song has been the butt of jokes in the past few decades (a sleazy saxophone can do that), it's still unforgettable. Thanks for this song, Glenn. This always killed when I'd play it at quizzes. #RIPGlennFrey

Great story by musician/record producer Nile Rodgers of Chic on the origins of "Let's Dance. #RIPDavidBowie
Queen - Under Pressure (Official Video)
Greatest rock song of all time? This duet between Freddie and David is sure up there. Keep jamming in heaven, lads. #RIPDavidBowie
David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancing In The Street
Before I even heard of the original by Martha and the Vandellas, this version by David and Mick mesmerized me. Bowie in the 80s = brilliant. #RIPDavidBowie
David Bowie & Pat Metheny Group - This Is Not America (official video re...
Bowie was so good that he was able to create an awesome song with The Pat Metheny Group in the 80s in a Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn movie that nobody watched. #RIPDavidBowie
David Bowie in Labyrinth - Magic Dance
He could make performing with muppets cool. Jareth the Goblin King. Nobody could play him but David. #RIPDavidBowie

The Making of Star Wars - 1977 Documentary
What a find. I remember seeing bits of this ON BETAMAX in the 1980s. :p Narrated by William "The Fat Man" Conrad, dig the 70s fashion and effects! Mark, Harrison, Carrie, and George are still so young and fresh-faced here. And that line by Threepio that "it will never end" seems truer than ever 39 years later. ;)
