Happy Heavenly Birthday to the legend of jazz and R & B, and Kelly's Mom's favorite: Al Jarreau. Here's his classic "Mornin'"...it's impossible to not feel good listening to this one!

Happy Birthday Cheryl Lynn! Putting Cheryl at the same piano with David Paich and David Foster led to the classic song "Got To Be Real," still a favorite at ITG. That beat just makes you move!

Happy Birthday Cheryl Lynn! While she had a number of hit songs, some may not know that she provided the backing vocals on Toto's hit "Georgy Porgy." Still one of our favorites at ITG!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Andy Gibb, the younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, who rose to fame as a teen idol and became the first solo artist to have his first three singles reach #1 on the charts. Here’s β€œI Just Want to Be Your Everything.”

Brand new teaser! Sweet Love reminds of me of the summer of 1986.

Happy Birthday Howard Jones. You can't have an 80s playlist without one of his songs.
We'll use the optimistic "Things Can Only Get Better" (a nice anthem on a bitterly cold Monday in February). buff.ly/KeWBsrN

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Walter Becker, half of the duo known as Steely Dan. Walter was a highly capable guitar/bass player. As they shifted to more of a studio band, Walter's role diminished somewhat. Here he rocks the solo in Pretzel Logic, and still one of our favorites. buff.ly/QOb6zUz
