I was doing some spring cleaning this weekend, my children and I dancing to some Pat Benetar, and immediately had flashbacks of the pending summer of 1989.

Rehabbers, Forgive the lack of posting. I got back to Philly where the weather was gorgeous and of course, instead of easing myself into it, the kids and I went crazy and just decided we were gonna bring summer to our home early. I mean we had on shorts, tank tops and everything, so not [...]

Ladies and Gentlehabbers, It’s time take a trip into the soundtrack of your lives. We all have a bunch of movies from the Decade of Decadence that make us oh so reminiscent of young love, fighter pilots, principals who turned ghetto schools into schools into schools of hope, racially ambiguous dancers from Steeltown, USA (aka [...]

Here is part duex which covers a little rock, top 40 and dance anthems of the 80s. And this last video was made in 1998 but has two 80s icons singing a smoking hot song. Whitney, you are a queen. RIP

As I often state in every MLM post, I remember when music used to really mean something to an artist. Maybe a voice wasn’t as strong as Whitney’s or Phyllis’, but people gave their all in a performance. Paula Abdul falls into that particular category.

When I was a little Vita you could find me in my room belting out Shanice and Tracie Spencer like I knew what I was doing. They were young ladies who could SANG but still kept it classy. Enjoy!

What I love about Rehabbers is that not only do they take their music seriously, they are not pigeon-holed into one genre or colour of music. And I think that’s awesome. This week, I would love to introduce you (if you haven’t already heard of him) Jonny Lang. Lang has been around since he was [...]
