## Resource

Interesting Things with JC #1664: "Rob Base" – Rob Base passed away four days after his 59th birthday, but the 1988 record he made with DJ E-Z Rock still moves crowds nearly four decades later; “It Takes Two” climbed the charts, then kept showing up at weddings, cookouts, games, and parties long after the charts moved on.
