It’s time for another edition of our show the Hit Song Redux where we travel back to a week in the golden era of the rock and roll and recalibrate the top 10 songs of THAT SPECIFIC week based on their legacy since THEIR PEAK POSITION ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100. including your stories and dedications and many of the artists commenting on their own song. We find out what the real #1 hit is and we continue to be astonished at how much better music was in this era vs the present day mainstream music. This show is a tip of the hat to my hero Casey Kasem… this time we travel back to March OF 1985.

At the cinemas you had a choice between seeing: the John Hughes classic The Breakfast Club or Eddie Murphy as Axl F in Beverly Hills Cop or Harrison Ford in Witness. On television, Alex Trebek was in his first season hosting Jeopardy. You also bad Who’s the Boss, Charles In charge and Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice.

Coming in at #10 a former frontman of multi-platinum band who was sued for sounding to much like well … himself. It’s John Fogerty with the Old Man down the road.

Coming in at #9 is a song that was part of the famous Parents Music Resouce Center’s filthy Fifteen. Written by Prince it’s the Goddess like Sheena Easton with Sugar Walls.

Going into the #8 spot we have one of the coolest duets of the year with two heavy weights of pop and should it’s Phillip Bailey of Earth Wind and Fire fame and Phil Collins with Easy Lover.

At #7 we have the lion of rock with one of his legendary performances with a band that should’ve been in the rock and roll hall of fame ages ago… It’s I Want to know what Love is by Foreigner Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones wrote this song.

At the #6 slot this week 37 years ago is a movie song by the one of the 80s greatest trios… it’s - Neutron Dance By the soulful and electric Pointer Sisters.

Halfway to #1 at the #5 position we have one the biggest hitmakers of the 80s, for a few years it seemed like he never left the charts It’s Loverboy by Billy Ocean.

In at #4 is a former co leader of the Eagles on his solo venture. Another in the Top 10 from Beverly Hills Cop it’s the late great Glenn Frey with the Heat is On.

Which is a good intro to our #3 song. The man who helmed Van Halen with a Vengeance, I’m talking about the acrobatic, wild and intense front man of the ages.

Well here we are at the #1 spot. Drumroll please. It’s a british duo that took the world by storm a few months earlier with their first number one hit Wake Me UP Before you Go Go… It’s What featuring George Michael with his heart wrenching masterpiece Careless Whisper.
