I chose 1981 music as my theme this year. My newest novel The Summer of Princess Diana is set in the summer of 1981, and oh! the music! Let’s take a look back at a pivotal time in the music industry.
Oh. My. This video! “Lady (You Bring Me Up)” was a top ten single for The Commodores, and yes, that is Lionel Richie in the short shorts, when he was still a member (and lead singer) for The Commodores. Not to be confused with the song “Lady” (that Richie wrote for singer Kenny Rogers to record in 1980), this song reached #8 in the Hot 100 and peaked at #5 on the R&B chart. The video alone is a gem.

What a soccer game! Who cares about the score? I remember those short shorts but don’t remember the song.

Seems like a very American of conception of soccer in 1981. “You wear short-shorts, tall socks … and you have choreographed dance moves!”

Oh no! I don’t remember this one. Don’t tell me my long term memory is leaving me too. I’m going to ask Alexa to play it. HELP!

One of my favorites was Hold onto the night by Richard Marx. He was damn good looking then. I like livin inside yourself by Gino vannelli mostly because his last name was similar to mine
