1987 Hits.......2001-08-16
Rock On's 1987 collection starts off strongly but then limps down the stretch. Former Go-Go, Belinda Carlisle hit number one with the sunny "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and Club Nouveau brilliantly updated Bill Wither's folk-soul classic "Lean On Me". The original has a gospel feel to it, but the remake has a danceable beat with a memorable keyboard riff. The song is one of a handful to hit number one in two different versions. Another song to match that feat is "You Keep Me Hangin' On". Kim Wilde updates the Supremes' classic, but unlike Club Nouveau, her song is a notch below mediocre. Yet another remake from 1987 to go to number one is mall queen Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now". The song has an ultra catchy beat and despite being pure bubblegum, is good fun. Ready For The World's "Love You Down" is sexy smooth and Jody Whatley's "Don't You Want Me" has a sophisticated funk to it. The rest of the album is made of duds like Wang Chung's vile "Let's Go", former porn star Samantha Fox's "Touch Me" is awful, The Jets' "Cross My Broken Heart" is pure fluff and Taylor Dayne's "Tell It To My Heart" is complete dreck.
EXCELLENT 1987 SONGS!.......2001-08-05
I looked everywhere for a CD that included the original version of "Lean On Me" by Club Nouveau -- this one has it! The songs on this CD are all great and by the original artists of the 1980's which makes it quite exceptional.
