Lovin that Tom Tom Club vibe in the Eddie Grant Walkin on Sunshine....soooo sweeeeet

Ben Armstrong (host)
Similar Island vibes for sure. Tom Tom Club recorded (in part) at the famous Compass Point Studio in the Bahamas. Eddy Grant's Blue Wave studio was in Barbados. Infectious grooves!

Great vibes! Fitting in a few minutes of Chance Meeting in between unfortunately scheduled Friday afternoon meetings. These tunes are much more appropriate for a deck hang than an office chair. Will be back out in that sunshine soon...
