Some of you old gits (like me) will remember Gloria and Miami Sound Machine.

Beautiful woman and a great singer.

For the uninitiated, here she is in all her 80's glory:

I can't stop listening/watching this on loop at the moment.

GOD!, I LOVE THIS WOMAN

Apparently she got pretty smashed up in a car crash (metal plate/pin in her spine, the lot) But made a full recovery and come back, pretty brave woman!

I had such a crush on Gloria when I was a kid. Her and Susanna Hoffs.

Edit: I hate you. Now I'm going on an old 80s music spree.

Never heard about that before.
I've seen recent videos of her and she seems OK. Tough lady.

But it's a "good" kind of hate, yea?

Just found this awesome medley:

She's joined by Jon Secada in the the latter stages. He used to be a backing singer for Gloria, but he's a fantastic singer in his own right.

Everytime I hear her music from that era I always think of the awesome summers and great summer mornings. Even past years some of it is still on the radio.

O eh o eh, o eh o eh
O eh oo aah, o eh oo aah

The rythm got me a long time ago.

So true.
