It’s raining stars
Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora – When the rain begins to fall
“When the rain begins to fall” actually contains just two stars. Maybe not the greatest icons of the 80s, but it’s a fact that we still remember them, and we are glad to talk about them.

The most famous opening tune
Do you remember the opening hit of deejay television between 84 and 85? It was Taffy’s first song, she started as a chorist for Sandy Marton. And in few months, her disco career was ramping up!

In Sanremo 1985 the contestants probably did not make history; guests were much more of stars: Duran, Spandau, Sade, Talk Talk, Chaka Khan and, the top of the challenge, Frankie Goes To Hollywood on the stage of the Ariston Theatre!

Sanremo 1985 / 1
Sanremo has started! I don’t think this edition will make history, like it did not in 1985, which is remembered more for guest stars than for contestants. But, looking at the last places, there is always something interesting, like this song, which ranked second last!

A woman for all seasons
In 1977 there was a fantastic hit called “Knock on wood”, sung by a very experienced disco star who was about 30-35 years old already. Then, later in February 1985, there was this fantastic song, “Friends”, performed by a charming soul singer, of about 60-65 years.
