If you think the 1955 stuff sounds strange, you can comfort yourself that it was 70 years ago. But 1985? You still hear these songs on the oldies channel!
“Oldies channel.” Ouch. I lived through that year. And now that was 40 years ago?!?!?!?
If you think 1955 is weird, just wait until you see what I’ve picked for 1985! The top ten has three big hits, one medium hit, and a lot of the college rock I was heavily into back then. It was just as diverse as 1955…but in a much better way.
And remember, you asked for it!
Unlike the 1955 teaser, poor ‘Retha was the last song cut from ‘85. (I’m sure you’ll remind me of that… “You left off that great Aretha Franklin song for this???”
) Here’s the Queen of Soul on the “Freeway of Love.”

Why, you make me feel like a natural hillbilly for saying that!

I was 5 years old. I never heard the whole song until now. I have heard bits of it in commercials.

I don’t remember being 5 years old all that much.

Yes, it was her biggest hit in 12 years when it came out.

Bruce Springsteen wrote a song (it was the B-side to “Dancing in the Dark”) called “Pink Cadillac.” Natalie Cole covered it in 1987. I can understand why that would happen.

Ah…
Well, strap in, there’s a lot that you won’t know on the list.
