Oh my favourite too! Bryan Adams with “Heaven”, his first of 4 American chart champions. A younger generation would take DJ Sammy’s 2002 version, featuring Yanou & Do, to the U.K. chart summit and #8 Stateside. #soundsofthe80s

Mike + The Mechanics with American champion “The Living Years”. With this song Genesis spun off 3 US chart-topping acts along with having summit success of their own. #soundsofthe80s

The Cure and “Boys Don’t Cry”. One of their better-known hits, I was unaware it was remixed and reissued to become a hit. #soundsofthe80s

Whitney Houston and “The Greatest Love Of All”. It was originally recorded by George Benson and became her 3rd American #1 shortly after co-writer Linda Creed died of cancer. #soundsofthe80s

George Michael and “A Different Corner”. This song should be considered a landmark in his career as it marked the definitive start of his solo era - and can be seen as the start of his “coming out”. #soundsofthe80s

Bloody hell, the Sisters and This Corrosion on #soundsofthe80s

Was not expecting that.

Roy Orbison with posthumous hit “You Got It”. It went Top 10 in the U.K. and USA. Bonnie Raitt did a version in ‘95 that returned the song to the US Top 40. #SoundsOfThe80s

Just logging in and catching up with U2 and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”, their 2nd American #1. Their 7 UK chart champions were yet to arrive at that point. #SoundsOfThe80s

The Eurythmics and “Sweet Dreams”. Here again is an act who topped America (with this song) prior to lifting the U.K. crown, which came 2 years later. #soundsofthe80s
