[QUINNY]

Marky: Thanks for the work you put into typing these.
A few surprises for me in the chart:
1) Man Parrish - Hip Hop, Be Bop .....would never have realised this was so big in the U.S.
2) Ditto Serge Ponsar - Out In The Night ....an underground hit over here
3) Ditto Shirley Lites - Heat You Up (Melt You Down)
4) Rhetta (Sending Out An S.O.S ?) Hughes still having a Disco Hit 8 years on. I've never heard it though.
5) The Brit invasion being so incredibly strong. They were big over here too, but I wouldn't have said thay were as big with the club crowd. Blancmange were probably my favourite new wave band for dancing to.
Looking at this chart I'm almost wondering how I ever enjoyed the year at all. It must have been better than this chart suggests.

Hi Marky:

Many thanks for your kind work typing these compilations. You know how important they are to me and you also know how many times I asked you to do so.

Do you know that I have selected, copy and pasted them to a Word document and edit them? Now I can search them whenever I want.

Cheers

Just a quick query marky, my copy of 'If You Should Ever be Lonely' is by Val Young on Gordy records. Is this a different version/song or did she go under a different name in the US?

[markydefad]

Good catch, S.D.!!!!

Mea culpa!!!! I went into typing O.D. I guess. :roll:

Yeah it was Val Young...Val Garay was a producer of stuff like "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes.

I corrected it.

[markydefad]

OK, I found it. Read it now before it disappears into the bowels once again!!!! :P

[FreestylePete]

thansk this was very informative i like how freestyle was born in 1984 and took over as artist of the year and 4 of the top 50 songs where freestyle.

[markydefad]

Someone was looking for this info--so I'm bringing it forward from the bowels of this section.
