Red Hot + Blue was one of the first CDs I've ever own. This was an AIDS-benefit CD which sold over 1 million records, put out by the good people at www.redhot.org. They've re-issued the original 1990 album as a DVD/CD set (retails for about $20)
This was a good deal because the DVD compiles all the original videos, plus some extras. And you get the CD as a nice bonus for listening in your car or favorite music player. Although videos are nice, I find that I listen to the audio more than actual viewing. Personally, I would like to see all live concert DVDs to come with their audio counterparts.
I had a hard time picking the song off this album, they're all good in my opinion. Most of these songs have videos on youtube, so just do a search for red hot blue.
If you want to help the Red Hot Organization, you can purchase one of these albums. They pretty much have every genre of music. I still recommend the original Jazz CD.

I bought this on cassette when it came out - wore the thing out. Replaced it with a cd and am very happy. Off hand I can't think of a bad song in the bunch, and that's usually quite the accomplishment. Great choice!
