Midnight Star - Headlines



Y'all ain't ready for Midnight Star! Nah...not after the mega galactic hit "Freakazoid". Not since I broke open the plastic to the record, have I heard such a monster packed jam! The N.C.O. Club back in the day was the spot. How many of you know what it was like to hit the N.C.O. Club after dark & get your boogie on? The D.J. we had 25 years ago packed the dance floor with classic footstompers like these R&B groups. But I needed to pull out some more vinyl for Terrill this month. Gotta teach him a few things. He may already know it. But just in case...

Track Listing:
~ Headlines
~ Midas Touch
~ Stay Here By My Side
~ Close To Midnight
~ Get Dressed
~ Engine No. 9
~ Close Encounter
~ Dead End
~ Searching For Love

They don't make good music like this nowadays. For a second, I was hoping Midnight Star would re-emerge & get the party back on track. Since it isn't in the news yet, or maybe, i'll keep myself satisfied & pump up the volume to "Headlines".

I played the heck out of "Midas Touch", "Headlines" & "Engine No. 9". But really people, the jam that I highlighted the most after a longs day work, especially on friday nights was the song that sounded too closely like another previous song ("Curious"). It was called "Close To Midnight" (I'm playing it right now in a matter of fact). Terrill, go find that MP3 & play it back on the site because man, THAT TRACK BROUGHT OUT THE MACK! Need not say anymore after that fellas. The ladies KNEW it was time to groove & nothing else mattered at that point. Whew, the good days of a house party just flashed back into my mind. Time warp!

The album was delicious! The Calloway Brothers had it going on. I believe this was their last album as a group. The gerry curl is gone now, but the music stays fresh in my mind & in my ipod.

Again, you guys got it goin' ON.
