Sad to read of Marie’s passing and thanks brett66 for posting this. Of all Roxette’s songs, my favorite remains “Joyride”, which hasn’t been mentioned in her obit.

When I was a teen we used to go to a 16+ dance club. I grew up in a rural place and they have such things for the yoots :wink:

Anyway, a couple of Roxette hits were in heavy rotation during that time and take me right back to those days and nights when I hear them now.
