What ever happened to…
What ever happened to… multiple Grammy winner K.D. Lang I was just at the grocery store, and heard her magnificent voice singing her biggest hit “Constant Craving”. If you don’t know the song… U-tube it. If you are / were not a fan of Country (sorry Alternative Country) and you don’t know who she is, think… Roy Orbison - Crying… they did a memorable duet together. And if you don’t know who Roy Orbison is well then Anyway, I started thinking about her… how she and other musical artist, just arrive on the scene to the masses (usually after years of toil); they are heavily promoted by record labels as the flavor of the moment, then dropped like a pair of dirty underwear. There are just so many of them, from Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill), to Color Me Badd (I want to sex you up), to the Knack (Get the Knack). These artist all sang about sex and relationships… but way back when, that’s all everyone mostly sang about. The only one who still seems to sing about sex now, all the time is Ludacris. But I digress. If you care too, give me your favorite “Flash in the Pan” (and I don’t mean members of the group Flash in the Pan), artists. TC, I expect you to cover off the disco era. I leave with the words of what I get from reading all your words, fellow bloggers. K.D. Lang’s, Constant Craving Even through the darkest phase Be it thick or thin Always someone marches brave Here beneath my skin And constant craving has always been Maybe a great magnet pulls All souls towards truth Or maybe it is life itself Feeds wisdom to its youth Constant craving has always been Craving, ah, ha Constant craving has always been Has always been Constant craving has always been Constant craving has always been Craving, ah, ha Constant craving has always been Has always been Has always been Has always been Has always been Has always been Find pleasure in giving pleasure |

I remember kd lang. Other one-hit wonders are Carl Douglas's Kung Fu Fighting and Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky - he did literally disappear; I think the record company couldn't trace him to pay royalties to him. From the golden disco era, there's Van McCoy's The Hustle, Wild Cherry's Play that Funky Music, Eruption's I Can't Stand the Rain, McFadden & Whitehead's Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, Amii Stewart's Knock on Wood, Anita Ward's Ring My Bell, Lipps Inc's Funkytown and The Weather Girls' It's Raining Men. I'm getting nostalgic now and going to get the disco music on for a bit of solo dancing! Disco rocks!

She is from your part of the world. Sinead, disappeared from the North American scene after the war of words with Frank Sinatra over the plaingy of the U.S. national anthem. Could you imagine if Twitter would have been around then? Find pleasure in giving pleasure

No doubt, you bring that kind of emotional passion into every encounter. There was just as powerful a song with the same title released the same year (1984). The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Whoa there, Lyle Lovett is NO flash in the pan! He's a long simmering kind of dude..... just getting better and better with every bubble! Young MC's Bust a Move was a flash.... Eddie Grant's Electric Avenue is another! And who could forget Funkytown?
