Paul Petersen became a part of the Motown family in the latter part of the 60's and it's interesting to hear his recordings. I knew he played Jeff Stone on the Donna Reed Show and had done recordings prior to Motown. What is nice about these Motown recordings is that the producers didn't attempt to turn him into a Blue-Eyed Soul singer, but capitalized on his easy-going way with a lyric.
"Your Love's Got Me Burning Alive" was the first Motown record I was able to find by Paul. I was really curious and excited about what I would hear and this song was a fantastic revelation. To my ears, it didn't have a typical Motown Sound, but a sort of pop-country feeling. The biggest thing I got out of this record was that it was FUN!
It's those "OOOH WEEE's" that grabbed me right away. This is one of those Summertime, drive-with-the-windows-open-and-belt-along type of songs. Producer Hal Davis did everything right. A great western guitar opening gives way to a big, bright and everybody's-gonna-be-happy arrangement. A finger-snapping tempo with just the right amount of horns to sharpen the edge a bit. A fantastic piano figure plays throughout. The backing vocal group seems to be having a ball.
Paul Petersen sounds right at home. He sounds simultaneously young and grown-up. I love his cool, laid-back delivery. When he gets going on the "OOHH WEE" refrain with the ladies joining in, it all sounds catchy enough that you can't help but find yourself singing along. Isn't that what a good song shoud do?
Writers Frank Wilson, Ruth Talmadge and Vance Wilson supplied fine lyrics that could play well as pop or country-western. Motown's West Coast team scored many fine productions that added a nice California flair to Motown's output.
"UNFINISHED DREAMS" is a sci-fi/ adventure/ romance novel currently being written by author Bjorn Street, slated for release toward the end of 2015. This full-length book will delve into the very foundation of pop culture and the arts, zeroing in on music, politics, humanity, and spiritual identity. Set amongst a backdrop of eternal love that transcends space and time, the story is both historical and futuristic, written in a personal, touching and sometimes humorous style.

Most kids who grew up in the 90s have fond memories of MTV. That's why when I spotted this MTV Moon Man Funko Pop vinyl toy a few days ago here in Metro Manila, Philippines, I decided to buy it. It's not new, it came out back in 2019. I'm not a hardcore collector, I only picked it up because I saw it by chance in the store and it's a nostalgic collectible.
My past unboxings of Funko Pop vinyl toys:

My favorite #Madonna album turns 20 today ! Can't believe I was only 10 years old when #RayOfLight came out... By the time I didn't know a thing about this amazing woman and I couldn't imagine her music will have so much impact in my life. There are some songs that help you grow and this record contains a lot. So thank you, @madonna ! Never forget who you are, little star.

Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone (born August 16, 1958) is an American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur. Born in Bay City, Michigan, she moved to New York City in 1977 to pursue a career in modern dance.
she released her debut album in 1983. She followed it with a series of albums in which she found immense popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Throughout her career, many of her songs have hit number one on the record charts, including "Like a Virgin", "Papa Don't Preach", "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Frozen", "Music", "Hung Up", and "4 Minutes". Critics have praised Madonna for her diverse musical productions while at the same time serving as a lightning rod for religious controversy.
Her career was further enhanced by film appearances that began in 1979, despite mixed commentary. She won critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her role in Evita (1996), but has received harsh feedback for other film roles. Madonna's other ventures include being a fashion designer, children's book author, film director and producer. She has been acclaimed as a businesswoman, and in 2007, she signed an unprecedented US $120 million contract with Live Nation.
Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide and is recognized as the world's top-selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records
Considered to be one of the "25 Most Powerful Women of the Past Century" by Time for being an influential figure in contemporary music, Madonna is known for continuously reinventing both her music and image, and for retaining a standard of autonomy within the recording industry.
