Good evening, Maestro! I must have been in a drunken stupor that weekend, as I was during much of the 80's! I have yet to recognize any of the tunes you've shared with us - but thanks very much - it's always great to listen to, what for me, is "new' music.



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Drumbo]

Boz does a great version. The one that always baffles me is #194 written by Neil Young!

Boz’ version is just fine, but Rita’s is better produced. I never associated Boz with beautiful melodies, and he threw me for a loop with that song.

[Publius]

The producers of “Top Gun” understood the raw power of hooking a song into a movie for promotional purposes. This classic came in at #34 on its way to the Top 10.

Kenny Loggins: “Danger Zone”

[Publius]

Dis ho B fly! An’ she B nasty! She had some fine moves, even when she didn’t have a “wardrobe malfunction.” It came in at #33 on its way to the Top 10.

Janet Jackson: “Nasty”
