"George Michael is the only person in the world to have had Number Ones with four different acts."

Paul McCartney had, by this point, had Number Ones with the Beatles, Wings, Stevie Wonder and himself. That adds up to four. Colbert

That was a decent episode with highlights by Aretha Franklin, Level 42, Timbuk 3 and Carly Simon.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

Sounds like a line from a UB40 song.

Hang on, we can say kitchen now! I still prefer to say kotchen.

That's what made Level 42 "unique", that the keyboard player would sometimes burst into song in a falsetto voice.

That really should have been re-released in 1987, I think.

A band name that would probably be frowned upon today, along with Simple Minds. shifty

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:Is this the last hit they ever had? It sounds like the sort of thing that would be.

No, they had a handful of hits after this, including a couple more in 1987. But after 1987 the hits started drying up.

She wasn't IN the Crusaders but she did do songs with them, including Street Life of course.

Aretha Franklin, but not George Michael? Sly

And it comes to something when two of your highlights were Breakers, which only get about about 30 seconds of the video shown.

UB Level 40 42 - Running in the Family.

Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright.
