Best known perhaps for "Wind Beneath My Wings"...
Lou Rawls did a version of "Wind Beneath My Wings???" Seriously, I never heard it. The one I'll always remember was "Lady Love." That was one of the feature tracks on my "music to get laid by" cassette tape. Worked too. I wish I still had that tape, it was a cornucopia of music to throw the old bone by. :lol:

Hey, anyone else remember when stereo cassette recorders were going to "destroy the recording industry?" Plus ça change, plus c'est le même chose.

For as inconvenient as 8-tracks were to use, they had better sound quality than cassettes.

Chic, if you ever find that tape, send it my way... or a list of the songs. :D

That tape is long gone, it was 20-30 years ago after all. Let me just suggest some Barry White, Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye, Love to Love You Baby by Donna Summer and Ravel's Boléro. Just build around those.

Of course, if you're interested in kink start with Freakin at the Freakers Ball by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.
