“You Make Me Feel Like Loving You” is worth a listen too.
What´s this! i never heard this before!…put something good!
Okay, I admit… I’ve never heard this song before, and I’m not downloading ‘cuz I try to limit what I use of Paul’s bandwidth.
But just going by the title… my brain almost immediately started singing “I Like Plastic” to the tune of “I Want Candy…” and this girl just will NOT use paper bags at the grocery store, do you hear me? 🙂

Such a great track! Thanks for sharing the extended version!

Yes Paul, it’s been a great week for some new discoveries. Like Daniel, I’ll be making my weekly DjPaulT compilation of the past week’s tracks. I love going old school and making “mix tape” CD’s.

Thanks Paul. These songs are new to me. I liked her “Catch me (I’m falling in love). This was a fantastic week.

My weekend will be fine, listening to my brand new CD compilation of DjPaulT’s hot 12″ rips 🙂
