Sade is eternal - so she
muataa - May 13th, 2009
Sade is eternal - so she must be on here.
Will Downing ruled the 00's.
There is really no one else, but I'd like to give a shout out to Ms. Jean Carne even though she didn't record in the 00's....I still feel her songs from the late 1970's now...and that is signfiicant....
