Coo this Whitesnake one goes on a bit. Notmy bag but it takes all sorts. #forgotten80s

This is good to hear. ONE STEP FURTHER ... and they'd have been number one. #forgotten80s

What's this on F80s? a 1982 1987 special? #forgotten80s

A SONG A DAY
PIPES OF PEACE, Paul McCartney
This whimsical song was at #1 on this date in 1984 and is one of his best IMHO.

A SONG A DAY - MOONLIGHT AND MUZAK, M
It's a really forgotten one this time, by M, who gave us POP MUZIK in 1979. He followed it up with MOONLIGHT AND MUZAK and I put this up as it is a full moon tonight and I am told that it is a particularly pretty one.

A SONG A DAY
BLACK WATER, The Doobie Brothers
It's interesting to note that whilst IF by Telli Savallas was topping the UK chart on the week ending March 15 1975, this considerably classier number was number one in the states. Really smooth and relaxing it is too.

If shoplifters of the World did unite, they would probably be able to take over, there's so much of it going on. #forgotten80s

Off to the local for wine and water but I'll take the show with me. C U soon. #forgotten80s

This Glass Tiger plods along rather nicely and it reached #2 in the US. #forgotten80s

CROSS THAT BRIDGE was on Now 9. #forgotten80s

I think that The Ward Brothers came from Barnsley. #forgotten80s

Hi all and I hope you're all well. The first three tunes have been great and I do like the Fatback Band one. The steve Walsh cover irritates me to high heaven. #forgotten80s

A SONG A DAY - ROCK AND ROLL (I GAVE YOU THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE), Kevin Johnson
This one entered the charts this week fifty years ago and tells a tale of lost dreams and failed ambitions. Only made #23 in the UK but really should have made the UK top 20.

A SONG A DAY - MANDINKA, Sinead O'Connor
Did you know that Mandinka are a West African tribe to be found in countries such as Somalia and The Gambia? Well, I didn't until today. Here's a top 20 hit in 1988 which has the word as its title.

Did you know that Mandinka are a West African tribe to be found in countries such as Somalia and The Gambia? Well, I didn't until today. What better song to celebrate a new fact to me than this one - a top 20 hit in 1988.

A SONG A DAY - I.O.U, Freeez
The cold weather gives me the chance to put up my favourite disco track of 1983 - a single which peaked at #2 in the UK chart and iced up the club chart for ten weeks.

ALL THAT I AM, Elvis Presley
Happy heavenly birthday to Elvis, The King, who would have been 90 today. His output was gigantic. He had 11 singles that peaked at #9 in the UK, although this one, did half as well, managing a #18 in November 1966.

WALKING ON ICE, River City People.
I've been doing just that this evening and it's cold everywhere, so why not listen to this #62 hit from 1990?

A SONG A DAY
Across much of the country, there's been snow - deep and crisp and even, so today, it's the first new hit to play on the first Radio 1 chart show of 1984. The single raced up to #6 and then raced back down the chart, nearly as quickly.

Gosh I thought Matthew was sounding ill. Hope he gets better soon. Anyway, this show's been great and I've really enjoyed it. Speak to you all soon. God bless!! #forgotten80s

Love Marillion's lyrics. You could set them as literary criticism pieces of A-level students. #forgotten80s
