Centerfold was THE. FIRST. VIDEO. I EVER saw in my life! I remember being TOTALLY blown away by it! I must've been like 12 or something when it came out. Then, just a few years ago, I had my kids in the car from school pickup and trying to turn down the alley to our parking lot, but had to wait for a van unloading gear into the small music venue a couple doors down from our place. A fairly common occurance, a little incobvenient, but we were used to it. When we got inside, I googled the venue to see who was playing that night, and it was PETER WOLF!!! 🤩🤯🥁

@@mamatay7 you and Stephanie Tipton have made my day. My very best friend from junior high school LOVED J. Geils Band I heard them every day for years!!! My best friend was murdered and the killer has never been caught it’s been 35 years. On a happy note… I have seen them in concert they were fun!! I have met Peter Wolf several times …. He had a vacation/weekend home where I live & he was here quite often. He would frequent the store I was working for at the time…he was very stand offish at first but much better 2nd time in & by 3rd trip in I finally said “is is ok for me to tell you I know who you are Mr. Wolf?” He started laughing and said 🤫 So thank you both for the J.

There's a sound called "gated reverb" that Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins accidentally came across when they were recording one of Gabriel's solo albums in the early 80s. It's a method of recording that gives the drums a slight distant reverb effect. Prince heard it, and insisted on using it on all his early 80s songs. Pretty soon nearly every music producers just used it as a standard for any rock or pop songs they recorded. But, in the early to mid 90s, people just stopped recording drums with gated reverb. I pops up here and there, and there was a resurgence of using it on some recent hits by Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Rihanna. I think that signature 80s sound you're talking about is rooted in that weird drum reverb that all those folks were using back then. Here is a great video on the phenomena kzitem.info/news/bejne/o66wnJ6JoYleZno.

This song was Cutting Crew's debut hit. This song went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1987. By the way, this group is not a one-hit wonder act. They had two other songs that hit the Billboard Top 40 in the same year. One for the Mockingbird was their second Top 40 hit. It only peaked at #36. But their third and last Top 40 cracked the Top 10 in the fall of 1987. It called I Been in Love Before. It peaked at #9. You guys should react to that song as well.

@Relevant Brother, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was so iconic that Dennis Miller made it the theme song for his HBO comedy show... Tears For Fears were part and parcel of the 80's second British invasion and caught my attention right off the bat. "Mad World" had something that caught the ear, then "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" they cemented their sound, and their place with American fans. I liked them at least as well as any of the British bands ((which is a lot!) and then later they came out with "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" which I have in my playlist right next to The Beatles "All You Need Is Love".. It's a great song, whatever the stupid critics ha to say at the time.. Great suggestion! S.W.

It's a song written about my girlfriend (who is actually the mother of my daughter). We got back together for one night after a year apart and I guess there were some fireworks but all the time tinged with a feeling of 'should I really be doing this?'

Here's a great one-hit wonder of the 80's: "At This Moment" by Billy Vera & The Beaters. It was made popular from its airplay on the TV show "Family Ties." That show literally made it a hit, and it went to #1. I don't think it would've even charted if it wasn't for that show.

Great vocals, classic 80s. Sadly, they kind of fizzled out after their first album, but not before having a couple more hits - "One For the Mockingbird" and "I've Been In Love Before". The lead singer's name is Nick Van Eede. My recommendations for 80s one hit wonders are "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats, "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora, "Perfect Way" by Scritti Politti, and "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. Anyone agree?

True but then again the 1 hit wonder refers to a band or singer only having 1 HIT, they all have other songs, may have been around awhile even but only had 1 song hit the charts, I think doing a 1 hit wonder reactions will open up the door to the die hards getting twisted about their group being put into that category but it would be a lot of fun...

I will add that those other songs from an artist might also be a top 40 hit, but only the most prominent hit is the one everyone remembers. So, for example, Vanilla Ice's first single is a top 5 hit song, then he released Ice Ice Baby, but we only remember the second single.

"(I Just) Died in Your Arms" is the debut single by the English pop rock band Cutting Crew, from their debut studio album, Broadcast (1986). It was first released on 25 July 1986 in the United Kingdom, and then released to the United States on 1 January 1987. The song was written by frontman Nick Van Eede, produced by Terry Brown, John Jansen and the band, and mixed at Utopia Studios in London by Tim Palmer. The power ballad[1] is the band's biggest hit, peaking at number one in the United States, Canada, Norway, and Finland, and reaching the top five in the UK, South Africa, Sweden, and Switzerland.

I have looked at this song as a near-perfect example of pop songcraft. Great production, arrangement and melodicism. Catchy chorus, two solid solos, smooth vocal performance and great ending. It also has great pacing and song length. No part of it wears out its welcome and every part fits the song extremely well.

Officially Cutting Crew had two top 10 hits from their debut album "Broadcast" with "I Just Died In Your Arms" being a number 1 hit and "I've Been In Love Before" making it to number 9 so technically they are not a one hit wonder group, but they never had any of their songs since chart at all. They are a British band and are still recording music, but the lead guitarist from this video died in 2002 and they broke up for a while until they replaced him.

This song was huge in the 90s for Reba, but this time she just redid it with Dolly, who she has actually never sang on a record with, and they both still sound amazing with Reba now being 66 and Dolly being 75.

We called this top 40 music. Every Sunday there was a top 40 countdown on the radio. We listened to it on the way to and from church every Sunday. ☺️ “Died in your arms” is a reference to the end of an act of physical love between two lovers. Cutting Crew had more than 1 hit song. I still have the LP. 😏 The lead singer’s voice was so soulful and had just the right amount of raspiness to it. He also had a bitchin’ hair cut. 😁
