Oh WZOU, the good old days. Steve Perun ran a very balanced CHR station. Kiss was very tight under Steve Rivers, and still more Rhythmic than 'ZOU.

Did I spell anyone's name wrong? I apologize in advance if I did.

This is an awesome playlist.

Completely agree! Even the lame tunes at that time like the Wilson Phillips were better than any Top 40 crap today. Of course, this was at a time when I was a young pre-teen with my ear tied to the radio.

What a great mix of dance, pop, rock, and urban (love that New Jack Swing!!).

And look at that, Lisette Melendez "Together Forever". Got that 12" single next to me.

7/3 Oleta Adams "Get Here"

^ Does anyone remember the "custom mixes" that stations used to play of this song during the Gulf War? (Military personnel sending greetings to their loved ones back home)... I recall a bunch of stations here in Boston, and around the country doing this...

Yes!! I was just thinking about that 3 days ago! A couple months back I heard the song and my wife mentioned "oh I remember this" and I was mentioning the custom versions with the phone calls.

Wow, that's awesome! I thought Stevie B was a one-hit wonder with "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)."

Hah! No. He is one of the most successful dance acts from Miami. He had about 10 singles between 1987 and 1992 and 5 or 6 of them were HUGE hits. Spring Love, Party Your Body, Love and Emotion are just a few.
 
A couple months ago (I live in San Diego now) I was in the car listening to the radio (Magic 92.5).  They're an "old school" station that somehow manages to play the same 20 songs (from a catalog of 40 years, imagine that).  However, they pulled this one out of their library and complete blind sided me and brought me back to the days when my ear was glued to WZOU from 1989 to 1992...

Surface - The First Time....

I started having childhood flashbacks.
