I would have to say I agree with you about the first half of the decade. The last half was a shallow reflection of the first half. 80-85 were the zenith
Bingo! Spot on, bullseye. 1982!, remember it well, like it was just a couple years ago. This hit and many others of the time bring back goosebumps memories of a time when USA was still great! The chills, great feeling euphoria of just remembering that time in USA history and the way it was. Never to return again. Glad I lived it. Ain't missing anything now in 2022! It sucks big time!
Anni meravigliosi. Lo strascico degli anni '70 che dava vita a quell'inizio di anni '80 patinati, raffinati, ma caldi, veri. Già due anni dopo sarebbe finito tutto, persi tra drum pads e robaccia non più elettronica o "robotica", ma semplicemente plastificata...
I love this song but this performance seems to be lip syncing. It is too exact to the studio album. Other live performances have been great to see her sing and play sax and she puts real feeling into her singing. This was clearly made for TV. Still a great song!
