Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).
It’s the 3RD Friday of the month, so I go back 30 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 22ND 1992:
- “Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” – The KLF Ft. Tammy Wynette
- “I’m Too Sexy” – Right Said Fred
- “Black Or White” – Michael Jackson
- “Good For Me” – Amy Grant
- “I’ll Get By” – Eddie Money
Released late in 1991 – “Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” was a worldwide pop and dance smash featuring the lead vocals of Country Music Legend Tammy Wynette (recorded and produced in Nashville). And The KLF went out on top. It was their final single ever.
That right there is one of the greatest dance songs ever made. Period.
Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 35 years ago to March 1987. It’s the week that a charity song hit # 1 on my chart. It was inspired by a horrific disaster on the North Sea.
It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !
