would anyone happen to know a link to the top pop hits in the Philippines during 1988? there's a pop song i'm looking that usually got played on the radio with gloria estefan's 1,2,3.

 

Not sure but i think the title is 'double standard', if that'll help.

Mike Francis passed away on January 30, 2009 of lung cancer. May he rest in peace. His music lives on

 

Oh my. This news really shocked me. Came to know about it only from this thread, and just now. I was earlier playing "Survivor" in my car while on my way home.

 

Luckily, i was able to watch his concert during the 90's. A very cool performer on stage. "Let Me In", "Friends", "Suddenly Back to Me", and "Survivor" were true 80s classics.

I never knew that the Top 5 Madonna hit "Angel" (from Like a Virgin album) was a hard-to-find item. Believe it or not. Anyway, I got both album and extended versions uploaded, along with Every Now and Then by Earth Wind and Fire (also surprisingly hard to find) and Bob Seger's Against the Wind and Shame on the Moon
