This was the biggest hit for the Australian group Little River Band in the USA, and it's also my favorite song from them--I often heard this on the radio growing up in Southern California, and every time I hear it now it brings back a lot of good memories during that time. "Reminiscing" went to #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1978 and also peaked at #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. I just love the arrangements done here, particularly the vocals and what I think is a flugelhorn that makes this track sound so chill and relaxing. While an edited single version was released, I've posted the album version here instead because the single removed some parts that I liked best in the song.

![The Family - The Screams of Passion (Edit)
This was one of my favorite songs of 1985 and its from a band created by Prince, which was comprised of former members of The Time: Jellybean Johnson, Jerome Benton, and St. Paul Peterson, plus saxophonist Eric Leeds and Susannah Melvoin, who is the twin sister of Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin. The sound is unmistakably Prince, made even more spectacular with the addition of a symphonic orchestra arranged by Clare Fischer I just love those smooth, mellow dance grooves that blend so well with the lush orchestra strings. The Screams of Passion peaked at #63 on Billboards Hot 100 chart in 1985, but I strongly felt that it deserved to be a much bigger hit; it achieved bigger success on the Dance and R&B charts though, going to #10 on the Dance charts, and at #9 on the R&B charts.
