Everybody Everybody - Black Box

[link] Love this song, from 1990.  It was a staple in my 80s mix when I was an informal, amateur DJ. I'm not an expert on the genre, but the sub-genre that Black Box is described as is Italo-house or Italian.  The defining characteristic is the specific electric piano chords.  That sound, and the particular chords and chord progressions are really what make it.  Also, the tempo is slightly below the faster rave music of that same era.  Everybody Everybody has an infectiousness and accessibility that is really noticeable.  When it goes on, people dance.
