Top of the Pops, 09 05 1985 

Can't believe it. We are introduced to Slave to Love. Suddenly it's nearly 40 years and still a favourite.

I mean, we had Mozart, Techno, Rock'n'Roll and everything in music history, but the 80s were the best ever

RIP to two LEGENDARY Radio 1 DJ's = John Peel & Janice Long xx

Best Year Ever. Wish I could live there Forever.

19, truly amazing track, very immigrant part of my history! And I especially love the remixes! ❤

Thank you Paul for posting this but more so for all the amazing music during the 1980s with Dt rain, Carol Kenyon etc and the totps theme, born in 1971 you made the 1980s a special time.

I still love your song 19.

Cheryl Smith from St Helens, I'll always remember you.🖤

Nice. Was this your own VHS recording of the show? I'm just trying to imagine you in the mid-80's: "quick, press record - I'm on TOTPS tonight!!" I still find it very sad that TOTP just isn't a 'thing' anymore...neither is caring about the pop charts. Something changed...the internet came along I suppose. Bit sad really.

Nineteen is seminal.

I never used to like Jimmy Sommerville; (he wasn’t my “type” and the tenor voice turned me off). But tastes change.. Now when I hear him I understand and appreciate his voice; (it is really hard to control a voice like that, and he does it beautifully). And when I see him now I think he is actually very sexy. You go, Jimmy!!!

The Cry video was creepy!

Interesting times. Jimmy and Marc were not talked about as gay. Frigging obvious but it was still closet time.

Sadly Curtis Hairston died of kidney failure aged only 34.

Great episode of top of the pops presented by Janice long and Jon peel and furring Freddie Mercury and godley and cream and paul hard castle and Steve Arrington in the studio and the style council and the top 40 brakes and the top ten and bronski beat and Marc Almond

Why the mirror image?
