1986 was a brilliant year for Hi-NRG records, in particular "MEGATONE" releases. Joan Faulkner stormed the scene with a fantastic energetic and might I add "radio friendly" song titled "I don't wanna talk about the weather". Sadly, it was to be a 'one hit' wonder, though she had a brief comeback in 1991 and again in 1993 but "Meh"! it was garbage. Good on her for trying though, that's the spirit! These were the kind of records that I would gladly fork over Central Station's standard price of around fifteen dollars for. With all due credit, Joan Faulkner remains active and still performs to this day, though her style of music has matured as she has herself, and she sings beautifully.
"I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER"
Here is a performance of her singing "Together" just a year ago, she reminds me a little bit of Randy Crawford.
