5. Purple Rain – Prince (1984 No.8) – Not a solo Number One in the 80s for this legend. Quality never the less.

7. It’s Raining Men – The Weather Girls (1984 No.2) – Played at all of our gigs at about 10:30
8. Farewell My Summer Love – Michael Jackson (1984 No.7) – Hit after Hit after Hit, sadly missed
