PREVIEW: Show 45, Blast 1386, 29 July 05 1400-1600, repeated 1 August 05 0000-0200

* Music from Sinnamon, Regina Belle, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, Frank McComb, Urban Species and many more!

* Grooveline Timeline: 1979 was always going to be a hard one to call, so I've had to make do with Phyllis Hyman, Michael Jackson (you know the album!) and Shalamar.

(Recording of this show took place during the latter part of a throat infection!)
