MC Hammer's & Céline Dion's Greatest Hits

Today, two iconic artists are celebrating their birthdays. So I thought it only fitting to put together a retrospective of their best and most well-known hit songs in one post. Never mind that these artists have completely different styles. Without further delay, it's Hammer Time! And it's also Queen of Pop Time. So...enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  It seemed redundant to put the artist's name before the title of the song here as I normally do. But honestly, if you can't tell whose song it is you probably need to get both your hearing and your vision checked.


1)  “U Can’t Touch This”




2)  “Beauty And The Beast”  (with Peabo Bryson)




3)  “Pray”




4)  “If You Asked Me To”
