A few goodies there...
Hall & Oates' number was great...superb example of blue-eyed soul...
I'm sure everyone remembers Phil's 'Against All Odds'...but does anyone remember the film of the same name? Fine song, though...
Good sentiments with 'We Are The World', spolied somewhat by someone letting Dylan sing on it...!
Madge's 'Like A Prayer' was one of her best...pity the album was a tad patchy...
