- Start The Clock-The Silos (There's a comfortable repetition in the vocals and instrumental backing here. Despite the difference in tempos, two recurring guitar chords remind me of Fleetwood Mac's "I Don't Want To Know." If I had been at KCOU in 1985, I'd have played this on the air. I also recommend the "Hasta La Victoria!" album, which is generally consistent from track to track.)
- Doom Or Destiny-Blondie (It was a pleasure to hear the hook-laden energy of Blondie's earlier work reflected in this track, released in May.)
- "Moonlighting" Theme-Al Jarreau (Thirty years later, Jarreau's rich vocals on this theme hold up, and his upward inflection on the tune's last line, "...just met on the wayyyyyyyyyy," is always a pleasure to hear.)
- South Of The Border-Lou Donaldson (Donaldson's shimmering saxophone carries the tune, with strong backing from a rhythm section that mambos and bounces.)
- Who Can I Run To?-The Jones Girls (Strong lead and backing vocals against a mellow instrumental backdrop; this 1979 track fits easily into a Quiet Storm playlist. WFUN has fared well in the ratings; with its commendable selection of old school R&B tracks, many of which KMJM played in the early '80s, it's easy to hear why.)
