80's music

Gary Numan achieved his greatest success in 1979...and 1980 in America...and is considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music!

"Dance to the beat that we like best...heading for the nineties...living in the wild, wild west!" Admit it, you're singing as you're reading!

Power Station is a 1980's "supergroup" named after the recording studio where their albums were recorded!

Level 42 is an English pop-rock and jazz-funk band that formed in the late 1970's, and would have their biggest worldwide hits in the 1980's. Further, their biggest hit in England wasn't their biggest hit in the "states!"

Singer/songwriter Christopher Cross made music history in 1980, when his debut album "Christopher Cross" won all four (general) Grammy awards!

Recently, on Deminski & Doyle, I heard Jeff and Bill wondering...what ever happened to Kajagoogoo? Where is Chris Hamill today?

You know their biggest song...its one of Jersey's Favorite Hits! But what do you know about the band behind the hit?  Lots...by the end of their turn in the nj1015.com spotlight!

Patrice Rushen's nickname is "Babyfingers," due to her small hands...but she had a BIG hit...one of "Jersey's Favorite Hits!"

Did you know that "Wang Chung" means "yellow bell" in Mandarin (Chinese)? It's also the first note in the Chinese classical music scale!

In hindsight, its kind of hard to believe that the American record labels didn't want to sign "Men At Work." Afterall, they are the only Australian band to have the #1 song and #1 album at the same time in the U.S!  And, they won the Best New Artist Grammy in 1983!
