Olivia Newton-John – Physical
Olivia Newton-John was one of the absolute stars of the early 80s. Three years after the worldwide success of Grease, which was released in the summer of 1978, Sandy, who by the end of the film had already transformed with leather clothes and seductive attitudes,

Prince – Purple Rain
When we talk about the greatest artists of the 80s, however difficult, there is always a song that represents them more than any other song.

Culture Club – Karma Chameleon
In September 1983, Culture Club were at a very important time in their career. About a year after the release of their first album “Kissing to be clever”, which popularized them thanks to songs such as “Do you really want to hurt me”
