Arroe CollinsHOST
I really do because I know that you had to have been thinking about one.
Arroe CollinsHOST
But my hope and guess is that on this soundtrack to It's Only Dancing, I would hear merengue, bachata.
Arroe CollinsHOST
I would hear some hip-hop in there and maybe some modern-day fusion jazz.
Jasmine GuilloryGUEST
I feel like most of the soundtrack was very hip-hop.
Arroe CollinsHOST
I love that.
Arroe CollinsHOST
See, I'm that generation of the radio jocks that were there on the air when hip-hop came in.
Arroe CollinsHOST
So when I hear stories of hip-hop and how it's become a part of our life and how we've got a book like It's Only Dancing and it's part of it, you have no idea how much I smile like a child because it's like I was there.
Arroe CollinsHOST
And to hear these stories and to talk to the authors, it's like I was there.
