Subject: Girl Groups and songs of the 80s

Written By: whistledog on 05/09/22 at 1:05 am

I'll save the obvious ones, because I am all about the obscure :D

Here is a group from The Netherlands called Doris D and the Pins with their 1984 single Starting At The End.  This never charted in the mainstream, but I seem to recall hearing it on the radio when it was new.  I have an album called Can't Stop Dancin' - Volume II which was a promotional compilation released by Montreal radio station CKMF-94 which played dance music and this song is on it.  This has always been quite a guilty pleasure of mine...

I used to roller skate to this one.  It's titled Stay With Me by a Canadian twin sister duo called Tu.  It peaked at #18 in Canada during November of 1987

Holland sure had some good girl groups.  Love the Dolly Dots.

Here is another one from Holland called Mai Tai  I love this one so much ...

Klymaxx- Meeting In The Ladies Room (1985)

The Go-Go's readily come to mind. They had several great hits during the 1980s. But rather than post those, why not post something off the beaten path from them?

This is "Turn To You", from 1984:

It was a hit too, but not as popular as their other hits.

Here's a group called Fuzzbox with their 1989 UK hit Pink Sunshine.  I don't know why this one didn't catch on in North America, it's just so good!  I know it was released at least in Canada because I own the album.

Pointer Sisters- Dare Me (1985)

Yes, they had a number of notable hits during that span. O0 I could probably identify some...but I'll save those.
