Episode 3: 1988 “Talkin' All That Jazz”
Before we depart 1988 we had to spend a day with Hip-Hop. This was a golden year for the genre.
You criticize our method of how we make records
You said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart
Stop, check it out my man
This is the music of a hip-hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same mistake politicians have
Talkin' all that jazz
-Stetsasonic
Episode 2: 1988 “Sunshine”
On this 2nd episode we stay in 1988 and explore the R&B sound of that year.
Cloudy was the day when Sunshine came into my life
And made it brighter
She touched me with her warmness as the light shines from her smile
She makes me happy
I could never keep myself away, cause when I’m next to her
I feel the warm rays reaching out from her love
-Alexander O’Neal, “Sunshine”

Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
There ain't no perfect world anyway
Ain't no livin' in a perfect world
But we'll keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
Keep on dreamin' of livin' in a perfect world
-Huey Lewis & The News, 1988
