June 14, 1986 - Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'On My Own'. The pair recorded their vocal parts separately and had never met until after the song went to number one. It was released from LaBelle's first platinum album, Winner in You and was written and produced by Burt Bacharach and his former wife Carole Bayer Sager. The song was originally recorded by singer Dionne Warwickfor inclusion on her album Friends. It is unclear why the song was not included on the final track list. The song was initially not intended to be a duet at all, but LaBelle decided to invite McDonald to help her turn the song into a duet, as she stated: The song was sent to me and I did a version of it but somehow it just didn't quite work. We were going over things I'd done and we talked about turning it into a duet. Someone asked, 'If you could do it with anyone, who would you sing it with,' and Michael was my first choice. The two performers were in separate cities when they recorded their individual parts which were then "married" during mastering. This was reflected in the music video produced to promote the song, which depicted LaBelle and McDonald performing the song simultaneously on different coasts. The song became the biggest hit single ever for both singers as it reached number one on the Billboard chart for 3 weeks, as well as charting highly on the R&B and Adult Contemporary charts. In the UK, the song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, going gold. #pattilabelle #michaelmcdonald #thisdayinmusic #1986 #1980s #OnMyOwn #WinnerInYou #burtbacharach #carolebayersager #dionnewarwick #musichistory #memorylane #musicflashbacks #musicflashback #ilovethe80s

Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, War is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some loving here today Picket lines & picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, What's Going On?! Released on this day in 1971, Marvin Gaye's What's Going On is a beautiful piece of music - unfortunately still relevant today 48 years later. #vinyl #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyljunkie #marvingaye #vinylrecords #33rpm #onthisday #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #vinyligclub #vinylclub #thisdayinmusic #lp #records #vinyls #recordcollection

This one goes out to Ali Pomeroy. I went to see this movie with my friend Ali in 10th grade. We saw it at the twin theater on 66th Street & 2nd Avenue in Manhattan. As hokey as the plot of the film was, we were LOVING IT! Will Ren ever be accepted by the town folk? Will Ariel make up with her father? Can Ren persuade the town council that dancing isn't a sin? Will the senior class get to have their dance? Haha! In the beginning of the movie these kids are struggling to dance to this Shalamar song during the scene at their Arnold's type hang out spot (that's a Happy Days reference for you younger folk). That is, before Reverend Moore busts the kids listening to pop music. Heavens to Betsy! Then by the end of the movie, these corn-fed white kids in the middle of somewhere-America in the 80s are popping and locking and break dancing. At least we got to see how Willard went through intensive practicing with Ren to get ready for the big dance. How the hell did these other kids look like the Rock Steady Crew by the film's end So absurd! And we were loving it! After the movie Ali and I were walking down 2nd Avenue and we burst out laughing at our toe-tapping, head-bobbing, cheeseball selves and how into the movie we were. I'm not gonna lie, I still end up watching this movie whenever I catch it on cable. Still awesome! Rest In Peace, Ali.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one and only GARY HOLT!!! @garyholt_official @tidemanns_lifestyle

April 9, 1983 - "One on One" by Hall & Oates peaked at No.7 on the Hot 100. The song was released as the second single from their eleventh studio album H2O on January 29, 1983. Backed by minimalistic, synthesizer-based production, the song's lyrics incorporate various sports metaphors to describe seduction. Daryl Hall performs lead vocals, while John Oates provides backing harmony vocals. The song was one of three top ten singles from H2O. The music video, directed by Mick Haggerty and C.D. Taylor, depicts Hall walking around a city street singing the song, interspersed with shots of him performing on a stage with Oates. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice named it the eighth-best video of the year in his ballot for the annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll. "One on One" has been covered and sampled by various artists and was notably used in several commercials for the National Basketball Association. Many Hall & Oates songs were collaborations between Daryl Hall and John Oates, sometimes with input from Janna Allen and Sara Allen, but "One on One" was all Daryl Hall. In a Mix magazine interview, he said: That song expresses a theme I've explored in lots of my songs, the idea that I've been traveling all my life but my heart longs to stay in one place; being in one place, but wanting to be somewhere else. In the October 16, 2009, issue of Entertainment Weekly, Hall listed this as one of his favorite Hall & Oates songs. He said: I was on the road for so many years, living this very transient life. You're everywhere and you're nowhere, and your domestic life, your concept of home, becomes very special to an artist. This song sort of describes that. The song's popularity, along with its inherent basketball references, led to it being notably used in several National Basketball Association (NBA) commercials in the mid-1980s. One such commercial featured Los Angeles Lakers small forward James Worthy performing a 360-degree spin move in slow motion during the song's sax solo. #HallAndOates #thisdayinmusic #OneOnOne #H2O #1983 #1980s #DarylHall #JohnOates #RCArecords #musichistory #memorylane #musicflashback #musicflashbacks #IloveThe80s #MickHaggerty #CDTaylor
