Best '80s/'90s pop

Thanx all.

I'm just looking to refresh my memory. If I hire a cover band for the party, I want to tell them what to cover. OTOH, The English Beat (or what's left of them, i.e. Dave Wakeling and a guy who does a passable impersonation of Ranking Roger) are now Santa Monica based. If they aren't too crazy expensive, we may use them.

BTW, Mac, my bride is from Minneapolis. More Prince, I guess.

Guys,

The wife LOVES a band. Kid Creole & The Coconuts happened to be playing in LA (their first LA gig in app 15 years) right around my 50th - so we rented a room at the club (and - as it turned out - my party accounted for just about 90% of the meager ticket sales for the show). By the end of the night my lovely bride was on stage and dancing with the Coconuts. I don't think a DJ will cut it anymore. It was pretty clear that this was her idea of a party.

If we can work it out pricewise, we may end up hiring The English Beat (actually Dave Wakeling and a bunch of stand-ins) who she really likes. They are now based in Santa Monica. If we can't swallow the price tag, we'll go with a cover band.

Thanks for the ideas,

Marty

Evidently ,Bongo knows his burgers.

BTW, Kind Creole's sidekick is also caled Bongo...Bongo Eddie.
Have you ever seen those two in the same place at the same time?
