Popular Songs Of 1984

And now we reach the music of my generation. This is hardly a comprehensive list*, but I think it's a very good collection of popular songs, all of which were released in 1984. Hard to believe some of these songs are 30 years old. It seems like only yesterday! Enjoy!  ~  JH

*Apologies to Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It?", Phil Collins' "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)", Van Halen's "Jump", and Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You", all of which were hit songs released in 1984 that I've posted on this blog recently. Some of the songs I did include ARE repeats, but were previously posted much longer ago than the ones mentioned above.
