Loved Franke & The Knockouts' "Sweetheart", John Parr's "Naughty Naughty", Donnie Iris's "Love Is Like A Rock" and Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out"

[–] AndyKing1967 (33656) 5 years ago

You nailed it! I’m upset you included Scritti Politti, as I was going to mention that very song.

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

Man, I sure wasn't paying attention in the 80s. They only song I'm super familiar with is Steppin' Out and I def don't think it's been neglected. Some of the other one's I can kinda pull out of my memory bank but despite knowing almost all the artists, i don't remember the songs. I guess that's the point of the O?

I liked the Honeydrippers cover of “Sea of Love”
