Two greats from '84.


These were popular in ’84 when released. Joe Jackson - Body and Soul; Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Thunderdome. I enjoy them even today. ChaCha Loco is awesome, as is the entire album. 🙉

@mrdecibel You made a point to note the LPs came out 40 years ago.  
You then used the term, “even today,” as in, “I enjoy (these LPs) even today.”  
It sounded like you found it to be noteworthy or “surprising” that, “even today,” you enjoy these 40-year-old albums.

Those two were indeed on my hot rotation.

"Body and Soul" continued on my hot rotation for more than a decade after its release, and I listened to it earlier this year.

One of my best concert memories is seeing Joe Jackson perform "Body and Soul" in its entirety in a wonderful old Art Deco theater in Los Angeles. Tremendous experience. Brings a smile to face as I type.

I saw JJ (mid 80's) @ The Greek (he was super).

Is that the concert you mention?

@dekay, I’m embarrassed to say it was 1989 and we saw him at the Wiltern on the “Blaze of Glory” tour.

The concert I thought I remembered was “Night and Day”.


Man, my brain is going, going…
