Janet Jackson with “What Have You Done For Me Lately?” It was her first US Top 10 hit and came from the super album Control. Her partnership with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis was just getting going! #forgotten80s

Time to fly, perhaps? Saxon with “747”. It’s too bad that few 747s currently fly passengers as twin-engined jets have become far more capable. #forgotten80s

The Gap Band with “Burn Rubber”. One of their best-known hits, it topped the US R&B chart but flopped on the Hot 100. It fared better in the U.K. listings. #forgotten80s

Paul Simon with “The Boy In The Bubble”. A single from the famed Graceland album, it has an iconic video but performed poorly on American charts. #forgotten80s

The late Whitney Houston scored her 7th consecutive American #1 hit with “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” in 1988. It would turn out to be her last of the decade but 4 more followed in the ‘90s. RIP #forgotten80s

Mory Kanté with “Yé Ké Yé Ké”. One of the first global hits from Africa, it remains among the biggest. He was from Guinea. A remix became popular in 2010. 🇬🇳 RIP #forgotten80s

Fleetwood Mac with “Hold Me”. This was Top 5 in America and illustrated the band’s widely-varying successes with singles across the Atlantic. #forgotten80s

Gladys Knight and “Licence To Kill”. Bond goes soulful! I know Patti LaBelle’s “If You Asked Me To”, also on the soundtrack, better. #forgotten80s

Rick Astley with “Whenever You Need Somebody”. Somehow Rick-rolling never goes beyond that other song in spite of his having many hits (and indeed a 2nd American champion in “Together Forever”). #forgotten80s

Kurtis Blow and “If I Ruled The World”. It’s chorus is easily remembered as that used by Nas in his 1996 hit “If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)”. #forgotten80s

Good evening crew as we get started on tonight’s programme with “Boxerbeat” by Joe Boxers. This isn’t one I’ve ever heard before. #forgotten80s

The 2nd hour gets going with Tears For Fears with “Change”, one of their early major U.K. hits. It would set things in motion for major subsequent success. #forgotten80s
