The story goes like this: I had gotten another CD from a group back in the day and had been playing them and coming up with this week's OSW. While I was coming up with the tracklist, I did a check for a duo named Theresa who had a slammin' single back in the day called Last Time. The track was a very popular track in 1987-1988 and was played in the rollerskating rinks and on the radio, and the video was in rotation BET. The duo's name was Theresa, consisting of Theresa King and Victor Porter. I remembered them because I had purchased two copies of their cassette, Broken Puzzle.

While my initial searches to find this kept turning up empty, I kept looking. After a couple of months of searching, I finally found a match- there was a reference of the album on MySpace. After a couple of messages later, not only was I able get a couple of tracks from the album, but I was also able to communicate directly with Theresa who had a request for this mix. I was glad to provide. She made my job extremely easy.

I know you remember these tracks from back in the day. I'm sure they will jog your memory. She's caused me to pull out songs I haven't heard in years. In fact, the next mixes that you'll hear this month are already on their way to being set up, thanks to her musical knowledge, so definitely stay tuned.

Take it light!
