I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Black or White - Michael Jackson

Black or White was the first single off Michael Jackson's 1991 album Dangerous.  The song's message was typical Michael Jackson, and the music is uplifting as well.  The music video premiere was somewhat of a big event, directed by John Landis, starring Macaulay Culkin and George Wendt, and being broadcast simultaneously in 27 countries and watched by 500 million viewers, the most ever for a music video.


As with many of the superstar's music videos, this one was innovative, using technologies to 'morph' people, and animals, into other people.  The scene towards the end when ordinary people from all walks of life change into one another as they're singing the chorus is my favorite part of the vid.  Check it out below:

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Smooth - Santana, featuring Rob Thomas

Well it's a hot one 
Like seven inches from the midday sun...



Oh yeah, this was a hot one alright!  This song from surprisingly fitting Santana with Matchbox 20s' Rob Thomas was a smash back in 99', heard seemingly everywhere and all the time.  But you could never help but sing along...

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Baby, Baby - Amy Grant


There were quite a few "Baby" songs during the 90's. Yesterday we had a dance/club song by Italian singer Corona and now we have a sweet, countryish one from Ms. Amy Grant, circa 1991.
 Enjoy!

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - Baby Baby - Corona


Okay, I am back from my short little trip, which I'll tell you about soon, but in the meantime it's back to I Love the 90's with a dance song from 1994. The singer is an Italian girl from Italy who really had just one album that made any waves here in the US. Rhythm of the Night was the first and more popular single, but this one was my favorite! Enjoy!
