Neil Barker

Thanks William. Hope everyone enjoyed it 🙂

Just catching up. The “I Never Fall In Love Again” that Tom Jones had a hit with is a different song from the Bobbie Gentry one.

We’ve actually stopped moaning now.

Thanks William 🙂

Both classics 🙂

Thanks William.

No, I first heard him in the ‘70s as my parents listened to his albums a lot. I think a lot of older people appreciate his ‘80s and beyond stuff now a lot more than they used to though.

I love both.

Thanks William. Happy New Year 🙂

My mistake, I didn’t request the Kid Creole or ELO tracks so well done to whoever did 🙂

Yes, definitely a UK single. We had one in our shop recently.

Who picked the ELO and Kid Creole songs tonight? Great choices #forgotten80s

It’s mentioned on Wikipedia. I picked that and the Kid Creole one after Sarah got “There Goes A Tenner” played a while back but I didn’t get a mention so clearly other people must have had the same idea.

Thanks William 🙂

Thanks William 🙂

Thanks William 🙂

Thanks William and well done Crystal. Is that the first time we’ve ever picked the same song? 😀

Thanks William 🙂

52nd Street were once mistaken for Talk Talk on TOTP #forgotten80s

Well done @jaydoubleyou1969.bsky.social #forgotten80s

Better than the re-recording of Remembrance Day anyway.

Re-recording (even though the proper one is now on Spotify) but still good to hear. Great first choice 🙂

Glad someone else noticed! Yeah it was the demo version with the Captain on vocals instead of Dave.

Best song I heard tonight.

Thanks William 🙂

Thanks William and well done to @pompeygeorge.bsky.social too 🙂

Thanks William and happy birthday to Neil too 🙂

Thanks William 🙂
