Do you remember the 1987 dance song by Noel called "Silent Morning"? It missed hitting the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

I remember it, but never heard it until two years later. Nice dance song. Noel did a remake of the old Loggins & Messina song "Oh Well", which I really liked.

It spent quite some time on the Hot 100. Freestyle music was not for everyone even though it was booming then. It peaked at #47 and it spent an amazing 22 weeks on the chart. I actually had strong belief that it would crack the Top 40.

Watched Paris is Burning again for the first time in over a decade with @jazzysoul47 on Sunday and Silent Morning is the first song you hear as soon as images of Manhattan's 1980's skyline flash across screen! But an even better—or at least equally great—bit of pop culture history? "During the initial recording of Noel's "Silent Morning," producer Aaron Hanson put a gun to Noel's head and threatened to blow his head off if he didn't sing the song Hanson's way." ( SPIN) |

I tended to hear this song as an old school cut on the freestyle mixes on B96 back in the 90s. One of the best freestyle records ever.

Such an amazing song. Vocally he reminded me a little of Robert Smith of The Cure on this one.

He performed at the freestyle show we attended in 2018. This is indeed a freestyle classic.
