Come back I was going to make espresso!
I've just finished reading Madeleine Kahns bio, they were great friends and a kind of comedic actors you just don't get any more.
A true gent and a true great.

I looked him up. The first one is very good. After checking on youtube I realise I have heard the second and third, and don't rate them. I don't know the rest. Am I missing something?

• Thriller - Michael Jackson
• Rock With You - Michael Jackson
• Boogie Nights - Heatwave
• Give Me The Night - George Benson
• Baby, Come to Me - Patti Austin and James Ingram
• Sweet Freedom - Michael McDonald

I suppose a lot of it depends on what type of music you like personally i am not that keen on any of them. I guess they are many who are though.
