Description:

The tracks selected for NOW THAT`S WHAT I CALL DANCE CLASSICS span four decades, but just over half of the disc pulls from the late `80s and early `90s, highlighted by Jody Watley`s "Real Love," Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock`s "It Takes Two," and Paula Abdul`s "Straight Up." As to whether the songs are all classic, it`s debatable. Who, in his or her right mind, would place Quad City DJs` "C`mon N` Ride It (The Train)" on the same plane as the Gap Band`s "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," Earth, Wind & Fire`s "Boogie Wonderland," and the Jacksons` "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)"? (Well, to be fair, quite a lot of people born after 1980.) Useful for parties and novice wedding DJs, but quite a bit arbitrary selection-wise. Sony could make a hundred other volumes of similar scope, and maybe they will.
