Joe Jackson – Steppin Out

Released in 1982, Joe Jackson's Steppin' Out reached number 6 in the UK charts in early 1983 and did just as well in the USA. An absolutely fantastic pop song by a brilliant musician, he was never to scale these chart heights again, but he made his mark in ...

Wham! – Young Guns Go For It!

Young Guns Go For It was Wham's debut single and went on to reach number 3 in the UK Charts. It was the first time we had seen George Michael (and Andrew Ridgeley of course!) and even then I think it was obvious that George was going to be a big, BIG star!
