Your musical influences
i grew up with a double thick layer of 80's pop and the late 70's guitar pop. artists such as fleetwood mac, cat stevens, elton john, wham, crowded house and tracy chapman added many colours to the song writing development.
in later years many layers of stevie wonder, randy crawford, otis redding,marvin gaye, earth wind & fire, billy paul and the rest of the delicious ear candy from motown and family brought the soul to the pop.
