Ace Of Base The Sign

Playlist for summer lovin'

2. “The Sign” (1993), Ace of Base: No one could escape this pop dance song at the end of the summer.

3. “Night Moves” (1976), Bob Seger: A guitar and piano take you back to the days when a '60 Chevy and the drive-in were the teenage summer scene.

4. “Into the Mystic” (1970), Van Morrison: Van the Man might as well be the voice of summer with “Brown Eyed Girl” and “And It Stoned Me.” But this track specifically carries you away with its seafaring imagery.

5. “You Showed Me” (1969), The Turtles: Slow and sensual, this song's about a lover being showed the way.

6. “Take My Breath Away” (1986), Berlin: Before “Maverick“ was a hackneyed political buzzword, it was synonymous with the hunky pilot played by Tom Cruise in the 1986 hit movie “Top Gun.” This love song not only provided the background for a Cruise-Kelly McGillis love scene but went on to win an Academy Award.

7. “Doin' It” (1996), LL Cool J: The steamy single samples Grace Jones' “My Jamaican Guy” and features LeShaun as LL's into it counterpart.

8. “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” (2000), D'Angelo: The swoon-inducing video for this soulful slow jam cements its place on this list.

9. “Always Be My Baby” (1996), Mariah Carey: This bittersweet ballad is aww-inducing for anyone who's had a summer love that lingered.

10. “Can't Help Falling in Love” (1993), UB40: The reggae version of Elvis Presley's classic ballad gives it just the right twist for summer love.

Frank Pozen's Big Bad Blog: AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Ace Of Base

Welcome to Frank Pozen's Big Bad Blog. A lot of folks have been asking me to update them about my recovery. So I thought I would start a blog primarily to do that but also to talk about other topics of interest including the wrestling business and whatever else I can think of. I plan to update this on a regular basis so check back and leave a comment if you wish. Though I understand the similarities and comparisons, I don't think Ace Of Base sounds anything like Abba. The Sign was their biggest of a string of hits in the 90s. I would describe their music as very basic and simple pop music. There's nothing complicated about their music. Of course like Abba, they are Swedish. Jonas Berggren was part of the Swedish punk scene. He led the band Konrad G in 1987. His sisters Linn and Jenny joined as singers. They went through several names and music styles but were called Kalinin Prospect in 1990. Berggren was getting into techno. The other two members left and Berggren asked Ulf Ekberg to join and they changed the name to Ace Of Base. They struggled until they heard the Swedish hit Another Mother by Kayo and sent a demo to the group's producer Denniz PoP. He produced their first hit All That She Wants. The Reggae influence set the stage for most of their other hits. And though All That She Wants was a big hit in Europe, they were turned down by US record companies until Arista Records signed them in 1993. Some tracks were added to their Happy Nation including The Sign and that was also the new title of the album. The Sign topped the charts worldwide and was the biggest hit of 1994. Ace Of Base had a total of four US top ten hits and faded in 1997. But they remained popular in Europe for several years. You can gwt all their hits on this budget comp. Ace Of Base took a hiatus in 2003. Linn and Jenny have both left and Ace Of Base continues with two new singers. Here's the video for The Sign by Ace Of Base.
