Art comes in countless forms, from the grandeur of a seventeenth-century painting to the simplicity of humming a favorite tune. In our daily lives, we all need an outlet—whether to express ourselves or to unwind after a long day. Music, in particular, has a unique power to lift our spirits and transform our moods. For me, whenever I felt down or bored, popping in a Level 42 CD always did the trick. This British band, emerging in the mid-1980s, played a pivotal role in the pop/funk era, delivering international hits that defined the eighties and nineties.
