Among the later disco era of the early to mid-eighties, when dance songs were really only played at clubs anymore because the charts were dominated by a newer wave, songs like Coming Out Of Hiding helped remind me why I loved the disco era so much. This post represents so many other great songs from the same time period, like Babe We’re Gonna Love Tonight by Lime, High Energy by Evelyn Thomas, I Like You by Phyllis Nelson, If You Should Ever Be Lonely by Val Young, So Many Men So Little Time by Miquel Brown, Searchin’ by Hazel Dean… the list can go on forever. And every single one of these songs reminds me of my Jan, during our earliest times together developing what would become our lifelong lifeline of friendship. But since space (and attention) is limited, I didn’t want to include all of the songs from this time capsule, so I chose Pamela Stanley’s as a stand out. Enjoy, because you know you want to.
