@exQUIZitely Played this on the ZX Spectrum. Not a bad game.

Did you play Bruce Lee back in the day? The 80s were probably the peak time for kids wanting to be ninjas and kung-fu stars. At least that was true for me. Movies like The Karate Kid, Enter the Dragon, and Karate Tiger were super popular, and anytime I could get my hands on a game like that, I would devour it. Bruce Lee is basically kung-fu Jesus, so when I stumbled across the Bruce Lee game by Ron J. Fortier, I was instantly hooked. I still play it to this day. It’s a timeless gem. And yes, I can easily beat it because I have played it a gazillion times. But that doesn't take away its greatness, it still kicks ass.

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon "...we’re asking what were the music/style mags/ papers that informed your taste growing up & now?" I used to buy Hip Hop Connection back in the day. Still got a few stored away including two copies of issue #1.

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Hey GC & crew Johnny Osbourne - Truths and Rights Three Ounces Of Love - In The Middle Of The Feeling Dynasty - Do Me Right Ultra High Frequency - We're On The Right Track SOS Band - Take Your Time Do it Right Shalamar - Right In The Socket Gerry Rafferty - Right Down The Line

We’re on @BBCRadioLondon at 1pm. And asking for songs with Left, Right or Middle in the title. Sad to see The Face magazine closing, so we’re asking what were the music/style mags/ papers that informed your taste growing up & now? 👂94.9FM | Digital | bbc.co.uk/radiolondon

@ZX48kSpectrum Don't know this one. 1991, by then I was out of the Speccy scene. Looks a bit like Pyjamarama.

“A walk in the park can become a bad dream People are staring and following me This is my only escape from it all Watching a film or a face on the wall Robert De Niro's waiting..” Seymour: Take One! (1991) #ZXSpectrum #Bananarama

@j_c_domingues The legend @ThomasDolby 😎

Thomas Dolby She Blinded Me With Science - 1982

@marrobison @RnB_DITR Doesn't matter. This track isn't even the Motown sound.

@ApolloBelladona @RnB_DITR She is from Detroit which is Motown💙🎶🎶

Rock Steady Aretha Franklin 🕊️(1971)

@BlackAndNative1 Written and produced by Kashif.

Howard Johnson - So Fine (1982)

@Cheamane Kool G Rap wasn't far off either. Listen to "Train Robbery" on the "Live And Let Die" album.

Talk about stuff that wouldn't fly today. That early Geto Boys they said some of the wildest things ever on wax. I can't believe they got away with some of the stuff they said. Especially since they were trying to censor rap. PS Willie D is the angriest rapper of all time.

@ZX48kSpectrum That's a blast from the past. Only played this a few times. Looked impressive at the time. Did it get a Crash Smash?

“Never trust a junkie Blood keeps drinking away Certain of its destination Driving through New Orleans at night Gotta find a destination Just one fix!” Turbo Esprit (1986) #ZXSpectrum #Ministry

@khnh80044 Still an amazing song. Just got shown this studio version by a friend when he heard me playing your clip. youtu.be/Odcn6qk94bs?si…

A beautiful song that brings back the sweetest memories 💓✨ Close your eyes… and just feel it 🎶

@CardiLeads @BreezyNick87 @Bigqadi Raaaaaaasssssss!! That was too cold...and uncalled for. 🫢 🤣

@BreezyNick87 @Bigqadi It wasn’t black don’t crack white do that’s why yall look like that and people call you crackers

Nia Long, Regina Hall & Sanaa Lathan, all over 50. Go viral with their immaculate face cards! 😮‍💨✨

@marrobison @RnB_DITR Aretha wasn't on Motown, she was on Atlantic.

@RnB_DITR Motown the best 💙🎶🎶

@HuitsonRichard @CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon 12 Angry Men is a favourite for me and even the 1997 remake with Jack Lemon and James Gandolfini among others was pretty good too. imdb.com/title/tt011852…

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Passport to Pimlico and 12 angry men for me GC. Couple of beauties

I’m in for Mr Elms on @BBCRadioLondon at 10am. Joining me: #HayleyMills, #AndyMorahan, #DavidArnold, #Kyra & #JessIzzat. It’s also Funky Friday with @leeejohn. Plus, tell us your fave black & white films you can watch again & again. 👂 94.9 | Digital | bbc.co.uk/radiolondon

@EdwardAdoo @CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon JGW made some great choons. "Superman Lover" and "Real Mutha For Ya" are my favs along with GC's choice. Always thought him and Bill Withers had similar voices.

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Johnny Guitar Watson more on the radio please GC. Classic album cover. Proud to say I’ve got a copy of that album. Have a great show. Big hi to Oliver and Jake.

@BlackAndNative1 Shalamar were an incredible group. So many top quality tracks on this "Friends" LP. Stil listen to their songs on a regular basis. discogs.com/master/316959-…

Shalamar - A Night to Remember (1982)

Proper big people selection from @CrowleyOnAir and @leeejohn on this #FunkyFriday. Eddie Kendricks and EW&F included. What more could you ask for? 👊🏾😎

Enjoying the show Gary. What a great interview of Hayley Mills that was. What was funny was when you mentioned The Dorchester (Hotel) I was on Park Lane at the traffic lights that were red at the time, just looking at the Dorchester on my right. @CrowleyOnAir

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon @leeejohn How's it going GC? I've always luved Black & White movies. Reminds me of watching Sunday afternoon double bill matinee with my Mum and Sister back when we were kids. Here's 4 of my favourites...

@BlackAndNative1 One of my favourite A.S. tracks. Sharon Bryant had an amazing voice.

Atlantic Starr - When Love Calls (1980

@orleansway Switch. They were a little less poppie sounding. One of my favs is this 80s Soul classic. "Keeping Secrets" youtu.be/oNTvisSRQ5g?si…
