Retro Saturday: Basia

OK laugh at me if you want to, I don't care, but I always liked Matt Bianco ("Good Times" and "Say It's Not Too Late" are undervalued pop classics IMHO) anyway their ace card was the very distinctive voice of a young Polish lady named Basia (her full name is Basia Trzetrzelewska)

I liked the singles she subsequently made as a solo artist and wanted to give them a mention tonight. They were very smooth and sophisticated and jazzy in that 80s kid of way. A very good and underrated singer.
