Throwback Track: Silver Shadow
Still can’t believe I’m forgetting classic Atlantic Starr songs! (I grew up on this stuff.)
Anyway, “Silver Shadow” dropped in 1985.
Throwback Track: Let’s Get Closer
Can’t believe I forgot about this gem during Atlantic Starr’s Flashback Thursday! It’s another one of my absolute favorite slow jams (next to Prince’s “Adore”, of course).
Flashback Thursday: Atlantic Starr
For 80′s R&B band Atlantic Starr, most of their music lives on at old school dance parties our parents get down at. As one of the top urban bands back then, I heard my first Atlantic Starr song (“Circles”) at one of those parties…on 8-track, no less. (I’m an 80′s baby!)
Anyway, some of their best songs are available on the Best of Atlantic Starr album. Major hits like “Secret Lovers” “Send For Me” “When Love Calls” and “Touch A Four-Leaf Clover” are classic. Later hits like “Always,” which is still played at most black wedding receptions, and the lovely “Masterpiece” are still their biggest hit singles.
