  1. Oh, yes! My favorite year of the 80s for music too! Songs like “Centipede” By Rebbie Jackson, “Torture” by the Jackson’s “Modernaire” by Dez Dickerson “Look the Other Way” by the Isley Brothers, “The Borderlines” by Jeffery Osborne “Sexomatic” by the Bar Kay’s and “Some Guys Have All the Luck” by Rob Stewart also comes to mind. 80s synthetic pop was at it’s height that year!
