I needed a break from Babs, lol. Her catalog is so vast though, you can almost find anything you want if you try hard enough. 

 

Though Alright was a top 5 hit, it was the lowest charting single off Rhythm Nation and was clearly very New Jack Swing influenced, so probably wasn't for everyone (the video is great fun though). 

 

My favorite remixes from the first half of Janet's career are Shep Pettibone's remixes for The Pleasure Principle:

I like Babs music too but haven't listened to it in years. What I like about Janet is that her original versions of her songs were always the best IMO and the remixes were never needed. Sometimes an artist's song really stinks until you have remixed one example for me was Nelly Furtado's "Turn off the Light". The original version was just so bad.. Once it was remixed it was a major hit and such a different better song by a long mile.

In the 80s, 90s, and early 00s if you were a pop artist whose career was primarily fueled by singles, you had to have your songs remixed for club exposure and for different radio formats. Madonna was/is the queen of the remix market and was probably the artist who really invented the modern concept of the maxi-single. Janet was a strong contender through for a while. 

 

But pop marketing changed a lot by the mid-00s and remixes and maxi-singles (let alone standard single) releases became a rare breed.

      Thank you very much for the information!!! All the episodes that person sells are the ones which appear or have appeared in youtube, and some have wrong dates.  Due to that, I guess some people, who have rare and inedite episodes, refuse to upload them in internet, because then, others make money. I hope ABC create a place in the net where we can see all the available episodes they must have, as Retro tv did with the Doctors!!!! Retro tv did an awesome job!!!! Have a look :

      Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.

      The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.

      Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.

      Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

      CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm

      I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons.
