This is a power ballad. It is one of the most romantic songs that I know of. At the height of Whitney Houston fame, along comes Jennifer Rush, with granted, a one off hit, yet this songstress climbs the heights

Christine and The Queens – Tilted
I must confess: it was the evil Flapsandwich who put me onto this amazing French Band, Christine and The Queens, a few years ago. I was chuffed when they turned up on the BBC Glastonbury 2023 television footage. I was

I mean, what can you say? Neneh Cherry? I can tell you that i stare so longingly sometimes at my original 12 inch version of Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Soldier – It usually just sits right on the outside of

This a flashback from my early childhood. I had it on 7 inch vinyl. It was a big hit back in the err…. day. I didn’t have MTV, not many did – a satellite dish was well pricey – you

Poor Madge has been unwell over the past week. God, there have been so many music artists leaving us recently. I would hate to see Madonna disappear. I tweeted her best wishes to GET WELL SOON and said “A World

I’ve decided to set up a new part of the website: Random Songs – which will just be selected Youtube videos of songs, old and new that i think are worthy of sharing with Wez G website users. To get
