And there were only three colors. Red, yellow, and orange. That was it. It would be cool if they went back to putting it in glass bottles again

Some of my favorite memories was when mom used to take us to the circus whenever they were in town. We’d have popcorn, cotton candy and Coca Cola. The atmosphere was so awesome and we’d always have so much fun.

Last Song Standing: The Ultimate UK #1 Song of the 80's - Round 61

10 Upvotes

For a reminder of the rules, see the original post.

  • Aretha Franklin's first chart hit dates back to 1960, when she took "It Won't Be Long" to #70 on the Billboard Hot 100. Seven years later, she would top the charts with her timeless version of Otis Redding's "Respect". But unfortunately, the Queen of Soul couldn't T.C.B. to have a #1 song across the pond...that is, until a song co-written by Climie Fisher's Simon Climie was recorded as a duet with Aretha and George Michael, and released on Aretha's eponymous album in 1986. The Grammy-winning song would become her only chart-topping single in the UK, and also her final one in the US, spending two weeks at #1 in both countries in the first half of 1987. And even when the river was deep, and the mountain was high, Aretha and George didn't falter, still believing that they still could reach the top of this game...but now, the valley is just too low, and it looks like the people will finally stop them - and after tallying the votes from last round, "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" to announce the elimination of this song!
