Hey gang, I’m back. I didn’t have the greatest, I lost my cousin Cecelia. If you listen to the Return to the ’80s podcast, you know her from the Poltergeist crossover episode (Episode 39) with her Crazy Cat Paranormal podcast. Then by the end of that week, I got Covid, which really did a number on me. Luckily I’m vaxxed and boosted, otherwise things could have been much worse.
But I’m back now and feeling better every day. So, let’s get back into this thing!
Can you name the artist and song:
And if somebody loves you
Won’t they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me
Last Song: “Don’t Come Around Here No More” by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers from Southern Accents (1985)
The results are in, and the winner of this year’s Return to the ’80s March Madness Tournament is “In the Air Tonight”.
The finals was between “In the Air Tonight” and “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)”.
“In the Air Tonight” received just about 2/3 of the vote, winning 65.2% – 34.8%.
This was a great tournament with a lot of great Phil Collins music. Thank you so much for everybody who took the time to vote! I’m looking forward to next year!
Today’s Song of the Day is David Bowie’s “Modern Love” which is on the Let’s Dance album which was released on this day in 1983. This song is the opening track on the album, and was the third single released. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Stevie Ray Vaughan played guitar on this track.
Bowie said this song’s call-and-response vocal arrangement “all comes from Little Richard.” A defining moment in Bowie’s childhood was when his dad came home with a copy of “Tutti Frutti.”
