Hi 80s cheer!  :)

I'll give you 3.5 out of 4 because you didn't come up with the original artist for #13.  Luther copied it, but I'm looking for the original that was done in 1978.  :)

4.  Tears For Fears  "Head Over Heels"
13.  Luther Vandross  "Always and Forever"

---cornwallis


Sorry, cornwallis...these were already answered ahead of you.  :-\\

Good spot, ladybug!  I was wondering if anybody was going to get that one.  ;)

#14--is it "5:00 World" by the Vogues?


Hi nally!

You are correct, but I'm afraid that Gaylon answered this one before you.  :-\\

I know the original artist who did it in 1978: Heatwave! Is that it?

Oops---didn't see that. :-[

BINGO!  Their version is soooo much better than Luther's, IMHO!  ;)
