Last week on the program, we featured an hour of smooth, sophisti-pop sounds from the 1980s. It went over so well that we're doing it again this week with a special spotlight on Sade. I invite you to dim the lights, light the candles, pour your favorite beverage, sit back and join me for another hour of smooth pop on the sophisticated side.
