Wynonna's Dance Hit
Five-time Grammy award winner Wynonna entered Billboard's Dance Radio Chart at No. 16 with the remix of 'I Want to Know What Love Is,' the highest new entry on the chart for the week. Mixed by Piper ( aka Ron Slomowicz, Tommy Dorsey and Lenny Bertoldo ) , the track is already a hit in U.S. dance clubs and internationally having reached No. 35 on the Netherlands' Top list and having found its way onto the playlist as one of the most requested songs on the nation's largest dance station, New York's WKTU. As Billboard wrote, 'Country singer Wynonna is not particularly a known commodity in the dance community. But that is likely to change with the potent Piper remixes of the artist's cover of Foreigner's 1984 No. 1 pop hit, ' 'I Want to Know What Love Is.' '

Who you hung out with, what you wore, and what you listened to were all meticulously calculated elements in our quests to be considered cool. This new weekly series relives the choices we made in order to fit in with the jocks, the cheerleaders, the geeks, the b-boys or the metalheads—one clique at a time.
