I love burning CD's for my friends cuz when they see my library or hear my CD's, they are like "Dude, I haven't heard that song in soooooo long!"

One Way: THEIR GREATESTS HITS
Leon Haywood: Don't Push It Don't Force It
Roger & Zapp: Heard It Through The Grapevine
Rick James: GREATEST HITS

It's so weird seeing Zapp featuring Roger on here :lol: I actually knew him when I was a kid. He had a house that we used to pass on the way home when we were kids. You always heard music coming from it, and he often came out and gave us sodas in bottles ( that was a big deal to me ). I didn't knwo then that he was actually a respected musician, he was just Mr.Troutman to us. He was a really a very nice down to earth guy who got a big kick out of us "ornery" kids. I was saddened to learn that he had died a few years back though.

Not about a Chicago bungalow. :lol:

Yeah, he was shot in his studio by his brother. I don't knwo what caused him to so it, but he killed himself after the fact. I think his studio is still there deserted. I heard they were going to tear it down, but I haven't been down that way in a while. It's a really bad end of town.
