Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 12 [woka, woka] James Jones asked about the most recent top-40 song containing a tempo change. Chicago's "Stay the Night" is the latest I can think of - I believe it's from their most recent album and it gets plenty of air time. The tempo change was drastic enough for some (bb-brained) DJ's to cut the song off. Or maybe that's not the DJ's fault, but station policy ( refer to the earlier discussion on song- blending to get more commercials on the air ). Bill Gibson
