Debbie Harry — In Love With Love 12″
Okay, this is only a 12″ single from “Rockbird,” but I’m featuring it anyway because it’s ready to go and the next entry isn’t. As with most 12″ extended dance mixes from the ’80s,...

Richard Harris – A Tramp Shining
Do I have to? Do I have to do this one? Be assured, I own this as something of a joke. A little tongue in cheek. After Donna Summer had a huge, huge hit...
