On a rainy, windy Friday we need some energy on today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 and I found one, a song you can hear again on Absolutely 80’s tomorrow night at 9 on 105.7 KOKZ, from the Miami Sound Machine with “Conga”.
During the 80’s, the popularity of Miami was exploding with shows like Miami Vice, and movies like Scarface, even Dan Marino was breaking records for the Dolphins! Enter the Miami Sound Machine! “Conga” was their first of three hits from their 2nd English album “Primitive Love” along with “Bad Boy”, and “Words Get in the Way”, the first hit ballad for Gloria Estefan.
The Sound Machine was everywhere in ’85, the Tonight Show, MTV, American Bandstand, and even a world tour and it’s the perfect fun song for today’s Forgotten 45, Miami Sound Machine w/Gloria Estefan with “Conga”!
