[Return to INTRODUCTION] [Return to Table Of Contents]
An impatient friend asked recently, "When do we get to the Eighties??" Well, we're almost there. But I urge you, my fellow Eighties children, not to dismiss this era.
I've dug deep - sifting through a landfill of cheesy pop songs, mind-numbing rock, and gawd-awful Disco (yes, even DISCO!) - to retrieve these gems for you.
And in case you really do end up on a desert island with nothing but this music, at least, on your sad little island with the one palm tree, you'll be able to dance a little.
Not every song here is a dance song, but they have a tendency either be dance songs, or mention dancing in the lyrics. So, whether you're an American Bandstander, riding on the Soul Train, or holding out for Solid Gold, you won't be disappointed.
