ZONDI's Romantic Ballads III
The third in the Romantic Ballads series from Metro FM's Eddie
Zondi is not concerned about keeping it current. In stead the focus is
on good songs with a longer shelf life than the fly by night hits. Lionel
Richie croons about his Ballerina Girl, Toto's vocalist
proclaims that I'll Be Over You and Carl Anderson is convinced
that My Love Will. Patti Austin, Peaches & Herb and
Bebe & Cece Winans deliver some classic proclamations of love.
The sullen tones of Black adds another dimension, with Chico
deBarge, 702 and Nivea (with the R.Kelly penned
Laundromat) also included. SA's first Popstars winners 101
do their Goodbye Song (wonder if Pam sang it when she killed her
cats - did the SPCA ever get on her case?). Heather Headly, Christopher
Williams, Rashaan Patterson, Brenda Russell and Boyz
II Men fill out the rest of the line-up. A terrible choice if you've
just broken up, but a good one if you're in the middle of a blissful romance.
