'Crush On You'

The Jets

With the passing away of Teena Marie, we are remembering this vast repertoire of Prince influenced dance music from the later 80s. This one is a good example. The presentation leans in the direction of clean cut youthful dancing positiveness without detours into decadence or cultural irony. Bouncy choreography, big hair, color, and fast looping synth lines are requisites. It is the sober child of 70s disco music without the cocaine and quaalude sex.
