CHR Flashback - 11/1/03

[Hervard]

Well, here is the fourth CHR Flashback posted in one sitting. It's back to the year that Diana Ross was Swept Away, Lionel Richie was looking for his Penny Lover while David Bowie was seeking Blue Jean and Billy Ocean had his eye on the Carribbean Queen. However, Tommy Shaw was running from Girls With Guns. Yes indeed, it was 1984, and here is the CHR chart from the week of November 2, 1984:

Mystery song: Peter Wolf, "I Need You Tonight". I don't even remember what that song sounds like. His other hits ("Lights Out" and "Come As You Are") are two of my favorites of the '80s, though.

1984 was a great time for music!
